I have had no problems at all of any kind but I would check for any close magnetic interference as thiscan be the source of these kinds of problems if it's not a tv defect.

I had to find the box in the garage! On the box it shows two ways to plug into a PC (computer): a D-SUB or DVI-D then there is a headphone/earphone jack and a HDMI jack for AV equipment. I'm still using the monitor even though it developed skinny little lines across the screen. I'm up to six lines now. It's upsetting that I didn't realize it was still under warranty when the first three lines appeared. I read that LG doesn't do the ends of their pixel rows like some other manufacturers and it could cause this problem but I'm no expert.

Hi there! I have the 46D64U and I believe I have the answer for you. If you're watching HD content through the HDMI cable, you shouldn't have to watch it zoomed or stretched. With an HDMI connection your "view mode" options (the button is above the 3 on your remote) should be "Stretch, dot by dot, S.stretch, and zoom." If you are watching a true HD broadcast or source, you should select "dot by dot" as this will ensure that nothing is cut off or distorted. If, when you select "dot by dot," the image does not fill the entire screen (i.e. it looks like it's not widescreen, there are black bars flanking the image, etc.) then what you're watching isn't actually HD. Make sure the show you're watching is actually in HD; sometimes the channel guide will say it is even when it's not! I personally keep my settings on "dot by dot" regardless of content because I don't mind when non-HD content doesn't fill up the entire screen. I don't like having the image stretched and distorted as I feel it looks worse that way. You may have different preferences, but make sure that whenever you're watching true HD content you aren't stretching the image or zooming in. Hope this helps!

You should definitely get an HDMI cable to connect them. HDMI allows for the best picture possible. When you receive this tv, you should try to use Netflix on it. That's how I discovered the issue with my tv. I tried watching a movie on Netflix and the TV shut off a few minutes into the movie. Now the TV shuts off randomly. Good luck!

It's probably your network connection's strength. Netflix is in full HD when I use it on this Tv.

I have never seen this either of my plasma TVs, especially on the LG 60PN6500. Did you see this on display at a retailer? If so, some retailers will change settings to make the plasmas look worse as the margin is higher on LCD/LED sets. Hope this helps.

I made setting adjustments, updated the firmware and have since watched scenes with dark backgrounds and it seems to have gone away? Don't know why for sure but so far, so good. Thought the same. Perhaps it is a HDMI cable issue but was seeing it both on tv broadcasts as well as DVD so felt it must have been related to some sort of setting? Don't think both of my HDMI cables would have been bad! Thanks.

It looks really blue on my TV and on my computer monitor. I looked at this question's answers and assumed it was a defect. But after exchanging it for a new one, I still have the same problem! :/

Don't know if there's a fix(?). Mine has a very clear picture,better than most I've seen.

Hi sir, Unfortunately I can't help you because I ordered this item but the company never delivered it. I got a full refund tho.I've bought a black screen and a white one as well and it's not completely opaque but it works well against a wall for example.

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.

good afternoon, thanks for asking I live in Venezuela lcd, get me a month ago by the inconveniences in the country, but I have two weeks of having the screen installed in the cell and the lcd is presenting as red lines that cross images and also if I have a long time with continuous use the lcd starts to lose color. I can do in that case? thank you

It is a beautiful screen. I have been in contact with Vizio. It seems the problem is not in the set. It is with the Sevice providers and they are working on a solution with internet providers and the streaming companies. Your local station sports viewing is beautifully displayed

Nope never noticed any thing like that. Check your TV settings, in the burn in protection settings there is a setting called pixel shift, its turned on by default it moves the picture a small amount every couple of minuets to protect from burn in's. I suppose your settings could be off the default settings are pixel shift: on, Horizontal: 4, vertical: 4, time: 4 min. This probably your problem you could try turning it off at your own risk as you may have a higher chance of burn in's and most likely image retention. You payed good money though if that doesn't fix it return it! Samsung is know for problematic plasma tv's. I wish you the best! Nope never noticed any thing like that.

Not sure ? When my TV went out, it started with horizontal lines across the full screen to not turning on at all !

Yep. It's like a halo around the characters, especially on grey or blue background. No difference between vga / dvi / display port (have not tried hdmi)

This isn't caused by the monitor, it is caused by video drivers.I have an ATI card that did the same thing to it. Updating to the latest Catalyst drivers and setting the overdrive to 0% got rid of the letterboxing over HDMI. Everything looks awesome now!
