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?

actually night scenes and day scenes are fine but when mid range colors hit i can c banding across my screen.

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?

thats when i can c it the most, but i can also c on sat, is there a way to fix?

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

I'm guessing you're using your PS3 to watch movies.

This seems to be a pretty universal display setting for PS3's. Check your settings and try these out.

Also, you might want to see if anyone has posted any calibrations for your set. Here.

Just saw the video. Your TV is messed up, and adjusting the settings won't help it.

You better call Samsung for warranty service.

There's no fix for banding of that sort. Sharp & Samsung had probs with this a gen or two ago. Send it back to sammy & hopfully they will send you a new TV (a 2009 model!)
