Motion Tracking Problems Has anyone had problems with motion flow on the XBR4? The picture on my set frequently has an observable jerkiness of motion, whether watching a DVD or satellite broadcast. We are using HDMI connections for both inputs. We have tried multiple combinations of Motion Enhancer and Cinemotion settings, but nothing seems to help.

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?

I just bought a 46" XBR4 and get the same issue. Did you get a resolution to this?

With updating the firmware and putting the tv intl game mode I have noticed only minor lagging at time compared to before the firmware update. Turn off motion smoothing also helps.with studdering during game plan. Certainly not the best tv for gamers but overall game play isnt a nuisance either...

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.

Just turn off the Tru-Motion setting. I agree it looks horrible and I don't understand why it is the default. Maybe it is nice for sports and games, but for movies it immediately cuts about 40 million from the production value.

It's a source issue..plasmas handle fast motion better than other types of TV. Many sources are poor though. Make sure your motion smoothing is turned off too.

Michael. I have also read about people turning off the 120Hz. Seems strange that a feature that should "improve" fast motion needs to be turned off! Any owners out there have anything to add? I would love to hear from you.

I've also had issues with this unit in regards to standard DVD problems, e.g., choppy, freezes, disc errors. I've also noticed lack of audio sync occasionally with both streaming and on Blu-ray discs...yeah, go figure. It's really annoying because we've had to keep our old dvd player around to watch older materials. To anyone deciding, it might be worth just getting a cheaper Blu-ray player and buying a Netflix box separately (around $100).

I've seen the W3000 side by side with XBR. I don't like the XBR. It makes movies look like stage shows. Very disconcerting if you like movies. The "3D" effect they talk about makes movies look like video -- if you know the distinction. (If you watch sports more than movies, you will probably like the XBR more.) I almost bought an XBR because "MotionFlow" sounded good... I was stunned when I saw them side by side. Also happy, because I'll save almost a grand by buying a 52W3000 rather than XBR! Do yourself a favor and find them in a store so you can look. Some people like the XBR 3D effect. I really don't.

I dont think the tv has bad motion blur at all. At least not for a LCD. As a matter of fact its the best I've ever seen. But at all LCDs have motion blur its part of the tech. But its the best at handle motion blur I've ever seen. I dont think you will even notice it. As for inout lag, i am not sensitive to tv input lag, so i cant tell.

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but my issue is with component input from satellite receiver and especially when there are changes in screen format at commercial break, and/or heavy action scenes like bright flashes/explosions, etc. I DO not find that there are any issues with hdmi input from my blu-ray player or DVD/VCR.Appears to me that there is an issue processing the action quickly enough. I contacted Onkyo online a month ago and never received a reply.

When i download my movies from this camera to my Mac, there is a disconnect between the video and the sounds. It's like a delay. Very annoying as i use it mostly for short clips of concerts. Also, there is a long delay between when i push the button for a photo and when it actually takes it (the photo). Are there fixes for for this? Operator error or is this the camera? Really thinking about selling it. But then what? I researched this for a long time and am disappointed.

I also just got this tv & am having the same issue. It's very distracting & is driving me crazy! Im actually considering sending it back & going back to my sony sxrd. Any help would be much appreciated because i do love the color depth on this tv & hate to get rid of it.

I bought this box last month, but when running XBMC LiveTV video and audio are not paired. The audio is ahead from the picture. When I Run Movies From stream channels it works awesome. I have 24 mbps internet speed, Does any one knows why it does that?

I see lots of motion blur on my set. This is very subjective; some people can't see it while for others it is very noticeable, so ymmv. My girlfriend doesn't notice it at all. If I had to do it all over again I would get an lcd with 120hz refresh or a plasma, but I don't watch a lot of sports, so I'll hold on to this set. This is the only negative point I have found.

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.
