I need help with my DVD player, Samsung HD950 While watching movies, I started noticing this water coloring effects, it almost looks like cartoons, specially during dark scenes. I looked at the settings of the DVD player and noticed the resolution was set at 1080i, I changed this down to 720p which is what I think my TV can handle. But no changes in the quality of the picture. Is there anything I can do to improve the picture? Do I have the right settings? Could it be the cable? I only have this problem while watching the DVD player, regular HDTV reception and color is great. TV Model: Samsung HL-R6167W From the specs, Resolution:1280x720. Broadcast Format Supported: 480i - 480p - 720p - 1080i DVD Model: Samsung DVD HD-950 I have them hooked up using the HDMI cable while the sound is connected using an optical cable to the receiver. A friend of mine told me that is the DVD. Is he right? I may need to buy a better DVD player that won't give me these problems. I am thinking about the Toshiba HD-A2. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Are you watching a DVD that has been burned from AVI files? Some software, usually trial versions, will place a watermark on the converted image. This is to encourage you to purchase the "full" copy. (no legal way around it..sorry) Does this scenario fit? As for purshasing a new or different brand of player, that's up to yourself. I'm slightly biased towards Toshiba........ but this is from personal experience of audio equipment, from a very long time ago. Post back to let us know how you get on. Cheers.
No, what I see is not a water mark, the items on the screen look like they were painted using water colors, usually happens on the dark colors and face tones. I am thinking about hiring someone to calibrate the system, it's really bothering me.
