Banding on TV help! - Blu-ray Forum

esko1 · 04-20-2009, 06:24 AM

For the last 2weeks ive been noticing banding on my Samsung LN-T4061f in medium colors, when the screens hits a dark gray i can see banding across the screen like vertical lines. can anybody help to explain why it happens and if its fixable.

As in, during night scenes, the TV goes from lighter gray to darker gray in bands instead of a smooth progression?

A lot of times it's because of the source. Too much compression can cause banding even on the best of TV's. Do you see it happen at all when watching Blu-ray?

What you might want to do is try turning down your contrast.
