Picture breaking up while watching sports. Any suggestions for fixing this problem?

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.

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.

I would try a new Video in cable, if problem still exists check the hdmi cable. If not a cable problem, return it as the conversion chip may be bad.

Try using a power supply of 2000mA+. And it may be your video/power cable. Use the largest cable you can find. You may have too much resistance for the length traveled. It fixed my issue. I too thought it was the camera going bad. Its just a power hog!

Did you ever resolve the problem? I'm having the same problem. I can't get a quality picture something standing perfectly still - like my christmas tree! My ISO is set to 100.

I only kept this tv for a week. I did not experiment this. I would try a software update. It might fix the problem

umm that's because it's a widescreen tv and because you refuse to get HD service you are seeing the crappy cropped old-style imagine. You can't magically make the image fit widescreen when it's formatted to the old image. You can only stretch it and it will look like crap.

Make sure the refresh rate on the computer is 60Hz. If the refresh rate is different from the T.V. there will be image tearing.

Hey Ed, When I was shooting at my son's hockey game every now and again it would all the way out and the camera had to be restarted. This was specific to the lens I bought. I ended up buying a brand new one and dontregret dropping the extra cash at all.

Actually, Matthew Swalwell is right! I tried setting it to standard and things look drastically better! Even when I set the output on my cable box to 720p :)So far my vote for the fix to this problem is setting film stabilization to standard, if you turn it off, the the 240 setting goes off too and I think it looks better with 240 on and FS at standard.

I took video with this camera of a gymnastics meet & it had blips & repeated actions that were not done by the gymnasts. What setting should I have used or is this camera damaged?

There is a setting to keep the player from stretching the 4:3 picture. Why people like to watch stretch-o-vision is beyond me.

Cheaper & easier... put saran wrap or tissue paper on the sticky backs of the picture. Worked for me.

I find that if there are some problems on the edges, like colored lights or moving things, these can usually be corrected by pressing the picture size button on the Samsung remote until you get the best fit. Otherwise, the problem might be tiling which occurs when the digital picture breaks up. That should be checked out by your satellite or cable provider.

I would try a different HDMI port on the TV. Some tv ports are not equal to others in the earlier TVs. The message sounds like a TV issue.

my picture does not fill screen the entire way either. It is 4" on each side.

Hmm...I have the same problem with my Olympus. Would the "sports mode" make any difference? Can flash be used in that mode? --Zach Kaplan
