Video issue on hulu: Any ideas on why the color looks so crappy on hulu ?

After trying NVIDIA drivers and Flash updates, I found that I fixed it by changing the Hulu resolution setting from automatic down to a lower resolution (288p) in the Setting at the bottom right (make sure to press the Update button)

I also just got this tv & am having the same issue. It's very distracting & is driving me crazy! Im actually considering sending it back & going back to my sony sxrd. Any help would be much appreciated because i do love the color depth on this tv & hate to get rid of it.

I have never had this particular problem. Occasionally we have problems with it pixelating, but that was our cable/dish service-not the television.

If you mean when you play video in a window and the entire screen except for the video fades to grayscale, yes I mine does that. There is an option in the control menu for "Detect Video" that I think is what controls that. Try turning that off.

I had a similar problem but not with blues. The flesh tones of people on the screen was red and I couldn't change it. My tv then would have flashes of green screen and I had to turn off the tv to clear the screen. Since my tv was new, I had it exchanged for another Seiki. Will see how this one holds up.

I tried that again, and the sound was a lot more in sync, but the picture has a yellow tint to it. Is it the same for you, Ozgard?

Check the settings on your set top (cable/satellite) box. I know the Scientific Atlanta boxes from Time Warner have a setting to control this color.

I changed the color setting on my blu-ray and the difference was hugely significant!!!!!. My cable DVR does not let me change color settings, so my cable movie dark scenes are still pretty terrible

The problem may be the application you are using to view that video. I have found the the free program "VLC" works well.

I think something like that happened to me... I Changed the colored video cables between themselves and fixed (blue where green goes and green on blue, or something like that) it... try different configuration with the RGB cable.

Try the current beta version of flash (10.2). It works REALLY well for me. Hulu doesn't have the annoying green bar anymore.

YES - and it looks like I am watching everything in "negative" color. It's awful and frustrating. Could not just plug in and watch. I plan to return this item asap.

Can't comment more on the Blu-ray aspect as had same experience. But as for the color mine is black with like a clear panel over the top of the lid, probably reflective. I thought it was going to be blue but I think we're getting misled by the color of the screen-purple-in the website pictures. The website never actually gives a color and "Graphite" would indicate "black" as in pencil lead. The Blu-ray mention is the more serious problem and very misleading.

Thanks for replying Steven. The edge issues I was mentioning were on the edges of moving objects, not the edges of the picture, I should have been more specific (although when I played around with picture size I saw what you meant, good to know if I run into that problem in the future). I do think you were right that part of the problem was tiling, I think something was going on with my cable feed, perhaps from the storms in the area after the new TV was delivered??? The picture is looking better these days.

Bad. The colors are all majorly washed-out -- especially yellow. Pure yellow shows up as more of a canary color rather than a rich golden yellow like it should be. Furthermore, the pixel pitch is huge so it looks like you're looking at the image through a screen door. Avoid, the high refresh rate is not worth it, especially at its price.

I also have the KDL-52W4100.It has some clouding. It is not that severe, but I still find it very annoying. I purposely kept the box, and I may return the TV to amazon if Sony can't offer a fix.I spoke to Sony and they told me the reset the TV, which I am going to try, but obviously I don't expect that to change anything.

I'm in the same boat as you - I'm ready to buy, but the lack of an updated color screen is the last obstacle preventing me from doing so. I sent a message to Gracie asking 'bout a color display - will post back if / when I get an answer.
