Video issue on hulu: Any ideas on why the color looks so crappy on hulu ?

After trying NVIDIA drivers and Flash updates, I found that I fixed it by changing the Hulu resolution setting from automatic down to a lower resolution (288p) in the Setting at the bottom right (make sure to press the Update button)

Well your half way there. Try another of the settings like Game view or another. It should improve. At first I didn't like the picture so I kept trying different view settings until one was real clear. Good luck.

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! :/

Try the current beta version of flash (10.2). It works REALLY well for me. Hulu doesn't have the annoying green bar anymore.

Your right on the money!! Mine does the same thing and I hate it. I was also watching the NBA playoffs and noticed and then it happend when a commercial was on and now I notice it all the time. My 27 1080i LCDTV Olevia has way better quality in HD and SD. I was using HDMI then switched back to component cables. One thing that did help me though is that I turned off all the special settings like the enhancements and black levels to get a true picture, because the manufacture hikes up the settings to make the TV look better on display at the store than in your house which will look a lot different.

Just tried an episode of The Office on hulu this morning, and found fullscreen to be jerky. Restoring to the default hulu small video size was smooth though.

The color and image looks washed out on any screen that isn't white or near white.

No. As the former response suggests, the image should not look like that (or doesn't with mine). Possibly a function of the display/screen you're using? I'll confess the colors don't look perfect with mine, but nothing as extreme as what you are describing. My wife has noted that the image has a bit of a red tint to it.

the recorded video and the on-screen stream are affected by the degree of light exposure. Not only the brightness degree but also affect the colours.

It's the NVIDIA Ion driver. Even the latest build as of this post (260.99) doesn't resolve the washed out colors and the occasional green line at the top of the video window. Some have reported that you can right-click the flash video window > settings > toggle the 'enable h/w acceleration'. I just received my 1215n today and installed the latest Intel 3150, Ion, and Flash player hoping it would resolve the issue. Needless to say I am very disappointed.

Wow,thats a first for me,my player plays everything in color.This is something you should call the manufacturer about this problem.Sorry I can't help you !!

I personally have never seen this problem. I would ask you cable provider. When my time warner was first installed, the default setting was not 1080p. I had to manually set that up on my DVR.

check your settings on the TV. Hooking my DC up to my Sony reset the "scene" settings for PC input and I have to manually set the colors back

so say the reason why the video looks like a pixelated mess on my computer screen (and these are videos shot outdoors on sunny days, plenty of light) is because my computer isn't brand new with a super processor and HD monitor and all the bells and whistles..... and I post a couple of these Flip videos to YouTube - is everybody going to see them as a pixelated mess or will anyone with a fast enough processor see it sharp and clear? Because if my end result is always going to look like pixels instead of people this is a worthless product.

I have seen a few videos from network sites, however it uses to crash after a period of time, depending on the quality of the video images. never tried the Hulu app, however all video streaming apps that I tried, seems not work on the device (e.g. netflix)

I just submitted my review of the Mac Mini as an HTPC. Look for it in a couple of days and it will address some of your questions. The main issue is to get past the PC vs. TV greyscale gamma standard so that the blacks don't look muddy.

Isnt that a shame? so you're saying that it will look grainy on any blue ray player? I wouldve thought any encoding problem wouldve been fixed by now, i mean 300 just came out on blue ray.Do stores offer refunds or something? Have you tried a different blue ray? or a different TV? Im going to take mine to my friends house and test it on his LCD TV.thxThank you.
