I've noticed it in SD (using Dish Network) but not in HD yet. I'm thinking it's because I'm just using the RCA that came with it, but even without the HDMI cables the picture is fantastic. Can't wait to see the HD and SD channels and Blu-Ray with the HDMIs

I haven't noticed anything like this. I don't watch sports but I've played video games on it a few times and never noticed any motion blur.

Kurt,Thanks for your help.We liked the reviews on the KDL-52V5100 better than the kdl-46V5100 and bought it as a bundle with the PS3 hope we didn't make a mistake, I don't know why the 52 inch tv in this model had better reviews than the 46 inch. I hope this isn't a stupid question but what is a 8-bit panel and a 10-bit panel and should we have gone with the 10-bit panel tv?Thanks Dede

I have been a life-long Sony fan. I bought my first Samsung TV (UN55B8000) 8 months ago and am totally satisfied. I have not experienced any issues whatsoever. The picture quality and price of the Samsung blows anything Sony had at the time I made my purchase. I highly recommend Samsung!

Oh man... My Samsung 5271 purchased Xmas 2007 has just starting doing this too. I turn it on, and the bottom 3/4 of the screen is distorted and unwatchable. It seems to clear up within a few minutes, and only rarely does it after "warming up". But I'm quite frustrated to have an relatively new, yet out-of-warranty TV that is malfunctioning.At this point I am just going to live with it... since I did not purchase with AmEx to get the extended warranty. But I am worried that the problem will get worse, as some of you have posted.Can anyone who gets this problem fixed, please post on the actual cause and remedy, and the amount paid to fix?Thanks in advance!

Rather than obsess on what the website or anything else says........... when those who own this TV -- the 47LB6300 47" LG Electronics TV -- watch movies or sports with fast action, IS BLUR AN ISSUE FOR YOU????????

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.

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.

Thanks for your answer, JD! I thought so. Oh, I saw it at Best Buy--I was SO impressed with it. I wasn't even thinking Samsung until I saw it. Samsung has really outdone themselves with this one, I think! I haven't even read of any major problems with it yet, so that's encouraging! Keep me updated and let me know if there are any little bugs with the TV.

I have the 55vt60 with about 1700 hrs. . I pulled up the tv menu and looked at the grey on the top and bottom of the menu . Yes , I see what you are talking about ( I think ) . I see it at about 1 ft. and it disappears at about 3 or 4 ft. . If you are seeing this all across the gray area . I believe you are OK . If you are seeing this in a small area in the gray that is different . You might have a problem . I would take a video of this and go to avsforum.com - Plasma Displays - ZT60 thread and post it there . If I am seeing what you see , it is OK . Sit back and enjoy !

Zero lag to the naked eye, mine anyway, very minimal motion blur, there's always gonna be a little...even on $5000 set. The tested response time, I believe, is under 25 ms which placed it 4th out of 5 tv's (the Panasonic was out of is league with the other 4 as they were priced at a minimum of $1300 and still beat at least one! ). 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?

I just ordered the 52V4100 as well. Was this close to getting the Panasonic Plasma, but after reading last week Pioneer and Toshiba are dumping Plasma technology, and next year Samsung and Vizio are phasing it out, I am led to think Plasma is losing the battle for some reason. Perhaps it's all the rumors of burn in, break-in periods, excessive heat and energy usage. I don't know. I went with the Sony. The price I got was too good to pass up ($1250 with free shipping).

I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it. Horrible picture.I purchased the 40A550 Samsung 1080p 60hz & was better but, the picture looked faded.I returned it & ordered the 40A650 through Amazon & what an incredible unit. The best picture of any TV that I have found. This is an amazing television. Absolutely has an amazing picture regardless of what you are watching. Amazon's "white glove" delivery is great, too. They make an appointment to deliver, un-box the unit & make sure there is no damage & the unit works before they leave.We are totally happy with the 40A650 Samsung. A huge difference between the 550 & 650 units due to going from 60hz to 120hz.Hope my experience helps. I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it.

Although this is an old question, my answer may help new buyers. I've owned this TV since 2010 and the "ghosting" effect on darker images in games has annoyed the H out of me for the last 4 years. Now that my warranty is about to run out I don't feel guilty about buying another tv. Apparently this is a common complaint on Samsung LED's.

I also have the KDL-52W4100.It has some clouding. It is not that severe, but I still find it very annoying. I purposely kept the box, and I may return the TV to amazon if Sony can't offer a fix.I spoke to Sony and they told me the reset the TV, which I am going to try, but obviously I don't expect that to change anything.
