why do some programs images skip around or jitter. Is this normal. Should I get a better HDMI cord but it only does it on certain programs

We recommend you test a video game system or Blu-ray player to determine if the problem continues. If it does, please disable the Motion Picture Setting found in the TV's Advanced Picture Setting.

Fuzzy lines that are not all the time mean interference. Search Amazon for "ferrite bead" and get one of the ferrite clips. I have them on all of my HDMI cords. Usually the reason to buy more expensive HDMI cords is because they are more insulated to prevent interference, but it is cheaper to get a clip on ferrite bead. If you only have one, clip it on the side with the monitor/tv. You can clip it on both sides of the cord if you have multiple. I just want to note that if you have fuzzy letters or image, then there might be a resolution conflict. For example, you are outputting 1080p when your screen only supports 720p. Another common problem that causes blurryness is overscan in screens which cuts off the edges of the image and then resizes the image to fit full screen. They do this because cable television usually comes in with weird white lines on the edges and overscan removes that. You can sometimes disable this in the screen's settings. Hopefully this solves your problem!

Component and HDMI are supposed to handle the same quality of signal. There are those who would debate the quality of component over HDMI but I have not been able to tell with my eyes any visible difference in picture quality. Sometimes cable length is an issue though, so be aware that a 15' cable or longer *might* degrade the signal quality. Hope that is helpful to you.

How is the playback of the choppy file from cam to tv via HDMI? If that's choppy too, I'd suspect it was a recording issue. Does your memory card have a high enough transfer speed to handle the bitrate of that file? I film in the bluray format , and have no issues, however I do use a 600x card.

Wish I could be of help, but no luck here. Since HDMI has been available, I've made several attempts to multi-task with this technology, unsuccessfully. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons for the initial development was to put in place safeguards on content to prevent "pirating" hi-def, with the pressures of the movie studios and replaced component connections. Wish mine were a little heavier, then it'd make a good paper weight. But being no expert, it might seem that for less that 5 bucks, you might have better luck.

I just bought Vizio XVT473SV from Dell, which was delivered last week. Worked fine for a day or so, but I'm noticing some screen distortion/flickering occasionally. Also some audio cut-out. Some posts suggest this might be standard def vs HD channel issues. (cable) I've not had any indication of visual or audio problem yet when using the Internet Apps or when hooking up my laptop to it. But it doesn't always work right when I turn it on with it tuned to the cable box. The problem this morning with flickering was a situation with TV/cable turned on, cable tuned to a standard def channel from the night before. I tuned to an HD channel, the screen still flickered. I turned off cable and tv. Turned back on and all was well. I'm not happy to be seeing these kinds of problems within a day of having the tv though.

I made setting adjustments, updated the firmware and have since watched scenes with dark backgrounds and it seems to have gone away? Don't know why for sure but so far, so good. Thought the same. Perhaps it is a HDMI cable issue but was seeing it both on tv broadcasts as well as DVD so felt it must have been related to some sort of setting? Don't think both of my HDMI cables would have been bad! Thanks.

I would try a new Video in cable, if problem still exists check the hdmi cable. If not a cable problem, return it as the conversion chip may be bad.

It sounds like you may have had the same issue I had. I took it to a camera shop and all this guy did was push a few buttons on the HDMI and waited then the image popped up. So the key is fiddle with it and wait I guess.

It may be the monitor you have plugged in :) mine caps out at 1680 x 1050 ///// try plugging it into a hdmi tv :)

I would try a different HDMI port on the TV. Some tv ports are not equal to others in the earlier TVs. The message sounds like a TV issue.

Same problem i have faced... the higher resolution video is jerky (stutters) while being played on a very fast computer. I tried copying it to my hard drive so that SD-Memory card reading lag time is been reduced, but to no benefit.

There are some out there and I had the same problem. I was told by a computer website that display port was a little higher than hdmi and it wouldn't work correctly so I just use display port to display port

Jose answered the first question correctly. As far as the second goes I didn't notice any degradation in the video quality. I'm sure there might be an extremely slight bit but it wasn't enough for my untrained unprofessional eye to notice.

My StarTech capture card does the same thing. Playback is perfect. Guessing Picture and sound could be offset to compensate for dropped frames if necessary.

A digital cable like this will either give you an excellent flawless picture with no artifacts whatsoever, or absolutely *nothing* whatsoever. However, an analog VGA cable can sometimes be subject to noise and artifacts. In my case, there is always a hint of ghosting with VGA. Wiggling the cable around would reduce it, or worsen it. Also a VGA needs to be calibrated, usually the monitor will take care of that for you, but not always.

I've had mine for almost six months and it happened couple of times. I've noticed that it never happens when I watch a DVD or Blu-Ray disk, or when I am streaming something either from Internet or my media server. It only happened when I was watching cable using my Comcast digital cable box. When it happens it goes black and comes quickly right back. Before it comes back it shows for a split second a sign that it is establishing HDMI connection. I was wondering if it has something to do with the cable box, but it is so rare that it is difficult to identify a pattern.
