Just got this cable from Amazon. Fits my 42" vizio nicely. However, the screen colors are skewed and oddly green. Anyone else experiencing this?

I would check the pins to see if they are broken. Could be a bad cable also check it with another tv if it works fine with another TV could be the settings for the tv.

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! :/

The cable didn't work on my TV. On a computer monitor it looked amazing. Only way I can see it working is with a VGA to HDMI adapter, but you have to dish out some extra bucks. The cheap ones do not work. I tried two and the colors had a yellow hue. Test the cable first on a monitor, if its clear it works. If its still bad its possible you may have a defect.

I have a Sony Bravia KDL 46" LCD I have not experienced the same problem you are I recommend reseating the plug in the back of the Dreamcast again very firmly you may have those pens are such I would do the same thing in the back of your TV as well

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR

Thanks for your reply. It happens to us when we go from non HD to HD and from HD to HD. Very annoying. We've dropped back to using the component cables, but I sure would like to use the HDMI. I was hesitant about complaining to Samsung, since our cable is so sketchy, but now I think I will.

Greg, I am also watching the Olympics on Comcast HD and not experiencing a lot of the pixelation you mention, mostly during the fastest figure skating spins, and camera moves on other sports. In fact, I am blown away with the picture on this event. I have not changed my 120-Hz (whatever its called) setting from the factory preset, and it would be the only thing I suggest looking at. I also have the picture set on "Movie" mode, the others presets are just too saturated, bubble-gum colors... though I doubt that makes a difference. Hope you can resolve this.

Have not had this problem. I suggest you check with Vizio service. They were very helpful with an issue I had.

I've had the TV for almost a month now and I love my TV, I see no discrepancies whatsoever and even though it takes a while to get used to (I.e. Microphone, apps, etc.) the viewing and the screen is flawless (knock on wood ;P) hope this helps!

Haven't experienced that with mine. I suggest connecting it to a shorter SDI cable and see if you get the same result. Also try with different HDMI cable as well.

I have a set-up similar to yours. I currently have a 29" Vizio LCD and have had no problems. My only concern has been if the LCD can survive winter weather (I live in NC and have mild winters) so if the tempature gets below freezing for a few days I dismount the TV and take it inside to be safe. Suggest you check the operating tempature range on whatever you buy and be careful in the extremes. But after 2 years the Vizio is doing fine, as did the TV I replaced for 4 years. Go for it.

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.

I have run several different connectors to my TV including RGB cables. I have been able to watch Amazon Prime and other video programs. However you may have a slight Audio/Video sync problem.

I couldn't figure out how to remove the old cable, so I just removed the new one and stuck the old cable to the new screen. Just peel it off like a sticker. I have removed it a few times since then. It doesn't seem to be very picky.

I have not had that problem, sorry hope you find out what it is, maybe its normal for your TV.

I noticed on mine as well, the optical cable doesnt seat right and wiggles loose easily on its own. try using a hdmi cable. if your priblem persists odds are you have incorrect settings someplace

I'm not sure on your tv but I just picked up a Samsung Combo HDTV/Monitor and had nasty issues getting the picture right until I stumbled across an easter egg in their setup. My Mac Mini is connected via a DVI -> HDMI cable to my Samsung. The colors were way off and it was obvious that the signal was not digital going to the monitor until I labeled my HDMI input "PC". That fixed the colors. Setting the option for "Overscan" fixed the resolution. Now I get a picture that looks as good as the DVI -> DVI input from my laptop.-- Chris

I'm having the same problem. No issues with the component connection, but problems with the HDMI connection. It sometimes shows fine and sometimes shows no signal (or takes 10-15 seconds to change channel). It is perfect with the Component connection.Like the others here I have a Samsung HD Cable box from Time Warner.

Hi, others have asked this, i mean no disrespect but did you completley look thru the box the cable is very short and is packed inside the box almost un noticable. Sorry i cant say why? Hope u didn't throw the box away. 9steals has great customer support. Contact them and I am quit sure they will help you. I almost threw my cable away on accident.

This is not the correct cable for a TV. I purchased it for my Vizio as we'll and never used it. The end that plugs into the TV should have a rounded end and a squared end. This one has two rounded ends. I ended up getting the right one from my cable TV provider, who happens to use these cables on their HD boxes. I went to the local office and asked them if they had a longer cable and they gave me a 25 footer which was way to long, but it works...
