Has anyone had banding issues with this TV? This is my primary concern as every TV I've ever owned has this issue. It drives me crazy.

No, I have not had any banding issues with this TV, but I have only had it 2 months.

Very minimum only one some ice hockey games. I use whitesands few picture-mode setting changes from page 37 in the AVS forums. See post #1086 - copy this address to your browser. They are many great looking scenic pictures taken from the 65W850 TV screen to look at in this same group.http://www.avsforum.com/t/1491811/sony-65w850a-reviews/1080

My tv looks great, Please try to play something from amazon instant video or netflix, sometime cable signal is not as good as it should and image quality became bad. Believe me this is one of the best inversion I ever did, this tv looks so goodThat a lot of friend ask me where did I buy this tv because it looks so amazing. I have a 47" LG and you can note the quality difference. I think if you can see the pixel problem with netflix or amazon instant video then the tv it is not working properly

I didn't have that particular problem. However, I did return the TV because when the TV was on there appeared to be a tear (the way a torn piece of paper looks) across the top of it. I bought a 60 inch Samsung plasma and I Love It!

I returned it. The second identical TV that I ordered at the same time does not have the problem so I hope that the replacement being shipped to me is also okay. Thanks for letting me know that someone else has the same issue. Herberto

instantly for me, however i would think that would be more of a issue with your service provider and not so much the tv. The tv is fantastic i would highly reccomend it.

WB, I just ordered this TV and so far the process has been great. I placed the order the day before yesterday, got a confirmation email this morning saying it was shipped, And a phone call from the shipping company M.. something asking me when i wanted it delivered .. I could of got it by this coming thursday but i work and am goin outa town next weekend so they work around ur scheduel to deliver when your at home. (If someone isnt home the day they deliver and they have to come back you can get hit with a double shipping charge - That y the person on the phone scheduels a day/times for ur delivery. I'll be getting mine on the 11th of June. From what the shipping company they told me on the phone they expect you to fully inspect the TV and you can refuse it if there is a defect to get a replacement...only after you've inspected the tv the delivery person leaves after you sign a piece of paper saying your happy with it. If you do refuse it they'll send it back and you have to contact J&R and tell them why ect... I'll keep you posted when i get the tv and check it out on the 11th. So far everything has gone by fast and smooth. I was a little sceptical too cuz its alot of money. UPDATE : 6-12-07 The delivery is top notch. the tv arrived new and no defects..i would recomend it. It comes with a year and a half warranty thrrough sony so if u have issues find ur closest sony style store abd pick up the info on who u contact etc in ur local area. DC

I also called Samsung & they referred me to a local company. They want $90 just to come out but since we can't afford to fix it right now, we have been waiting. I have read a lot of people having this issue but samsung denied it. It's a shame that a fairly new tv is having such problems. I guess that they don't make them like they use to! Let me know if you get a tech out there & the outcome. I know mine will have to wait, no job, no money.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I am still debating between this model and another. Let me know what you think about the TV. Thanks.

I have not experienced any problems so far. This TV is rock solid to me.Have you tried to update the software on it?

Sounds like something may have happened to your tv during shipping. I suggest calling Samsung service and have it looked at. My tv seems to be fine, had it for about a week and a half now. Good luck!

i ordered my a week ago and it should be delivered tomorrow. i cant wait, i think i'm gonna love this tv! sounds like you like yours other than the HDMI issue. i'll keep that in mind when i check mine out. i dont think that i would really care just as long as the other two work. How do you like yours?

I have experienced the same thing with my new Samsung LN52B630 TV. Do you guys think it's a TV problem or cable signal problem?
246206
Yes, I am having the same issue with my same model television. Mine was purchased the end of 2/08, it started doing that about a month ago and it is out of warranty. Have you had your repaired? If so, what was the cost? wants $150 just to come out and diagnose the problem.

I qould contact samsung right away and inform them of teh situation...from what I have read (AVS Forums) they will send a technician out and if they determine there is a buzz they do have a solution...anyone looking for more info I would suggest going to AVS forums and reading the thread about this TV....be warned...its long....longer than whoadies vag.

Every once in a while the TV seems to suddenly be out of sync. Not real often, but it does happen. I have a cable box hooked to it with an HDMI cable. Changing the channel, up one and back down for instance, syncs everything back up. I have to wonder if the audio or the video signal path inside the TV is the real problem. (All the motion processing, etc.) This by the way is using the TV audio. I don't recall it happening through home audio system but I'm not saying it hasn't either. Anyway I'm hoping a software update will fix this down the line.
