Green and Red pixelations in blacks on 3d?

[ticman]

I have a Samsung Pn51D550C1F tv..about a yr old. I have begun to notice when watching 3D programming (cable or blu rays) on the black bars and any black or darks screen I see wavy green and red pixelations all throughout the screen. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it a know issue and can I fix it? I have a 2 yr warranty through Best Buy if this cant be fixed

Thanks for any input

It could be from your HDMI. Try switching off HDMI Dynamic on your player or TV, or try a different cable (brand or length).

Ok I will try that in the morning. Thanks

It's normal, they can always be seen at certain distances (mainly when you get up close), but how much they stand out and can be seen from your viewing distance or whether they seep into the black bars or not, for both 2d and 3d viewing, is dependent on how you have the tv calibrated. For example, these are the settings I often use with my d8000 plasma (depending on the source and how dark it is in my room. Sometimes I will change them, increasing the cell light to 15, decrease the brightness to 54 and setting the gamma to -1):


Mode Movie
Cell light 11
contrast 95
brightness 56
sharpness 0
color 49
tint 50G/50R
black tone off
dynamic off
gamma -2
flesh tone -3
edge enhance off
motion lighting off
xvYcc off
color tone warm2
digital noise off
mpeg noise off

6 -4,-3,-5
7 -4,-3,-4
8 -2,-1,-2
9 -2,-2,-3
10 -3,-2,-1

Now with those settings they are not noticeable from my viewing distance, and cannot be seen in the black bars even when you go right up to the screen, however if I change the gamma from -2 to -1, then they become noticeable when the screen is black and can be seen in the black bars. Another example is, if I increase the cell light to 15, decease the brightness to 54 and set the gamma to -1 they can't be seen, though if I increase the brightness by 1 to 55, then they become visible from my viewing distance and in the blacks bars.

Wow. It doesn't matter what my sitting distance is they are always there. I will tweak with the settings and see if that makes a difference. Appreciate the help

I have made changes and tweaks and it just doesnt matter. The colors are everywhere when I watch only 3D. Looks like a tech will be out thursday to try and repair it
