Green vertical lines when try to view DVD's in 1080p mode: Does anyone know what I should do to get rid of the green lines so that DVD's will play on my 1080p Samsung 52" HD tv?

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.

You can if your DVD has composite video output or HDMI output. Most DVD's are not 1080p, though.

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR

I'd also like to know what settings other people are using. I have my PS3 hooked up to this monitor and blu-rays look terrible on it. My PS3 is set to 1080p output and still the blu-rays look extremely grainy and there's streaks in dark areas. I have no clue what to do. I took back another ASUS model because of this issue. I was hoping this one would be different, but it's not. Please, someone post your settings.

FYI, I found out VLC alone will not playback 1080p, at least not without your occasional skipping and stuttering. Install k-lite codecs and run the movies using Windows Media Player classic. It runs like a champ.

I've found that with upconverting machines, if you are playing back in the 720P/1080I/1080P modes the 4:3/letterboxed image will be "stretched". You need to reset the playback to 480i or 480p for these images. I have four such machines of different manufacturers and they all work this way. My HD-DVD and Blu-ray machines, though, do play 4:3/letterboxed images in the correct ratio format, even when I'm set to the hi-def modes. Hope this helps.

There is no way that I know. When I installed mine, my cables were not fully seated and I saw a similar color issue. It is possible that one of your component or HDMI cables is not completely connected to the box or the TV/Devices. Check that your cables are firm and in the correct ports. If they are, you may try testing with another cable. Once my cables were set, my picture was perfect and I have had no problems with the box.

Think of lines going across your screen to form a picture. In interlace mode, e.g. 1080i, there would be 540 lines going across one way then 540 lines going across the other way...the lines do this 60 times a second, so your brain is fooled into seeing a solid picture of 1080 lines (interlaced from two sides), but these are made up of 540 lines of resolution. With a progressive picture, there are 1080 lines going one way and 1080 lines going the other way, which means you get twice the information on your picture screen and the picture is rock steady. While this is all good and well in theory, understand that DVDs have a max output of 480i and even though some DVD players, and/or HDTV sets will upconvert, a good 1080i picture is questionable. Right now, the XBox, Blu-ray DVD's, High def-DVD and some on air transmissions are your only sources of 1080p, however...that should be the standard in a few years, so....be happy you bought the 4095 and wait for the world to catch up.

What you saw was true.This Philips DVD player -just like any other Philips DVD player- can not play DivX or XviD files if the video resolution of the file is above "720×480". If you try to play you get the message "video resolution not supported".Actually, "1080p HDMI" is nothing more than a slogan. It's a lie.

Nope never noticed any thing like that. Check your TV settings, in the burn in protection settings there is a setting called pixel shift, its turned on by default it moves the picture a small amount every couple of minuets to protect from burn in's. I suppose your settings could be off the default settings are pixel shift: on, Horizontal: 4, vertical: 4, time: 4 min. This probably your problem you could try turning it off at your own risk as you may have a higher chance of burn in's and most likely image retention. You payed good money though if that doesn't fix it return it! Samsung is know for problematic plasma tv's. I wish you the best! Nope never noticed any thing like that.

JV - Thanks a lot! I could not figure out why my dvds wouldn't play on other dvd players. There is nothing to clue you in that you need to finalize them.

From what I have read about my 1080p flatscreen. The picture is automatically upconverted to 1080p

Nguyen,Thanks for the reply. According to the manual on page 7 of the Connections section the component connection supports outputs of 480p, 720p, and 1080i. But on page 22 under Component Video Resolution it says:Even if you select "720p" or "1080i", images are output in 480p when you play DVD-Video.To me this means that if I play a Blu-ray disk (BD-Video) I will get 1080i on my Sony KF60WE610 (as long as the disk does not prohibit it). But if I play a regular DVD (DVD-Video) I will only get 480p. The CNET review of the player seems to confirm this information.If you have any additional information that refutes this conclusion please let me know. Thanks again for your input.

I have. Less than 1 week old. Using HDMI cable. Played "Polar Express" (Full Screen Version) and player "stutters" every 5 minutes or so.Tried two other "wide-screen" discs and the "stuttering" did not happen. Playing to a new Magnavox 47" LCD.Home burned vacation DVD's upconverted and played just great! Very Good for audio CD's also!
