issues? I'm thinking of purchasing this display for my bedroom, has anyone had any issues with banding, clouding, hdmi hand shaking issues?

I went through all the technical spec agony and then chose this set because I could see no difference in the picture between this model and the more expensive 1080p or i's. In fact it is better than all the others I compared it to. In particular the colors are truer and the detail is outstanding. Remember you are watching high definition in the store. Standard programming is not quite as good on any set although it is better on this size than on larger models. Be prepared to get the HD option on your cable or sat. I frequently watch active sports. None of the issues you mentioned are discernible. The only time you might notice a slight blur is in a very fast video game but you would not see it unless you were specifically looking for it.

Mine flickered SO badly, I had to replace it. I do NOT recommend this monitor. Samsung was NO HELP whatsoever. It's very likely the last Samsung (anything) I ever buy. It's too bad, I used to like Samsung products before this fiasco.

Matt, thanks for posting this. I had the same question and couldn't find an answer. Is it possible that the latency the reviewer perceived is due to upconverting the signal to 1080i, and you are simply converting the analogue to digital signal without changing the resolution? I'm not clear on whether converting implies *up*converting, couldn't really find an answer... but based on your feedback I think I'll give this a shot.

I have not had any issues with this TV. We watch it a lot a night in our bedroom with lights low, as well during the morning with full sunllight in the room. Great TV!

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though.

I have had similar issues and thought it might have ben the monitor itself... the problem is that the HDMI cable was moving ever so slightly as we manipulated our rig and the weight of the HDMI cable itself helped it to wiggle out just a little bit and lose connection. Nothing a little gaffer tape couldn't fix. After figuring out what was going on we have yet to see it lose signal again.Hope This helps!

I have only noticed a minor motion 'jerkiness' on a couple of TV shows, but I attribute it to my satellite receiver, otherwise Sports in HD and DVD viewing are phenomenal! I will look into the owners manual, to see if I can find anything. You say it is intermittent...for all viewing or on certain shows? Also, are you viewing via cable or satellite?

The latest firmware has not solved the HDMI problems, however there is a very simple solution to it. It's a bit annoying, but if you unplug the receiver then plug it back in the HDMI handshake problem goes away, at least for the current time you're using it. Not a permanent solution, but it works for the moment.

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

I have not had any problems so far and the receiver runs about 6 hrs a day. I hope I never have any HDMI problems

Did you ever have any luck the green line issue? I have the exact same issue with the Soundbar I just purchased. At 1080i it looks fine, but at 1080p to my 1080p Toshiba 42" Regza I get green lines.

Others have mentioned the refresh rate. What does that mean? I have the (less expensive) KDE and watching motion causes significant pixilation. I thought that with everything else being excellent, I could live with that. Not so. I have ordered the KD from Amazon so that I can double the refresh rate. Once your eye acclimates to the TV, even a stationary actor can pixilate if there is hand motion (of course, it is only the moving hand which pixilates).

I haven't seen the HDMI handshake issue with this receiver, but I know there is a flaw with HDMI implementation in general that can and does cause HDMI issues with many devices.

I actually ended up returning my TV, as the clouding was very bad, and also the blu ray player was just as bad as well. It's a shame, since the TV did have a very nice picture watching sporting events. I was surprised to see Amazon has 40 something used TV's for sale on the same model, so I assume many people are having the same issues.

At 3200 and higher iso I belive it has some banding issues. I didn't go that high very often, so I never noticed it myself.

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

Hi Andre.That was a number of months ago - did they ever "update" the TV, and did that solve the "lip sync" issue? I seem to be very sensitive to lip sync issues- I notice them all the time - if any channel is off by a fraction of a second, it really annoys me.
