Video issue on hulu I got one of these for my daughter, and so far we're very happy with it. One thing I'm not clear on though. The screen looks great, with good color accuracy and saturation, and if we watch the sample video it also looks very realistic. If she watches a show on hulu, however, the color looks almost monchromatic and washed out. This happens regardless of whether we use Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser, and it seems we have the latest Adobe Flash player installed.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)

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

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.

My video is fine when viewing it using a SMALL window. The larger the viewing window the worse the resolution becomes. The newer webcams are much better now that technologyhas improved. I hope this helps.

My tv looks great, Please try to play something from amazon instant video or netflix, sometime cable signal is not as good as it should and image quality became bad. Believe me this is one of the best inversion I ever did, this tv looks so goodThat a lot of friend ask me where did I buy this tv because it looks so amazing. I have a 47" LG and you can note the quality difference. I think if you can see the pixel problem with netflix or amazon instant video then the tv it is not working properly

I think we're experiencing image burn-in on our 2 1/2-year-old 1080p LCD TV. When an HD show is on, there are now visible vertical lines marking where the sidebars of standard definition programs would be, almost as if a standard size screen were placed over the widescreen. There's also some shadowing in the top half of the standard screen area. This is most noticeable when the picture background is light colored. We had no idea this would happen. We were considering buying the Samsung model you've got, but we spend more than 5% of our TV time watching standard definition programs, and many of our DVD/Bluray movies have black bars on top and bottom. Maybe we'll just get by with our current set until the image burn-in problem is eliminated.

I don't have a slow Netflix problem, but I do have a "flashing black screen" problem. This appears as an occasional flickering or a short blackout. Otherwise, the streaming is the best I have seen so far.

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! :/

I had a similar problem but not with blues. The flesh tones of people on the screen was red and I couldn't change it. My tv then would have flashes of green screen and I had to turn off the tv to clear the screen. Since my tv was new, I had it exchanged for another Seiki. Will see how this one holds up.

I think the "blooming" issue is overblown. I hardly notice it at all...even with white credits on a completely black background. Who reads the credits anyway? If that's all the "experts" can find to complain about...that says a lot about this TV.

@ NC movie man.Sorry, but not good. Your video quality probably looks good when watching cartoons or using a SDTV (non HD). The pixellation you describe - I have not seen. On my TV, a 47" LCD Flat Panel, lack of clarity is the problem. Picture quality is about as good as the worst SDTV Satellite channels that I occasionally watch.If you installed computer software when setting up your modem, it might indicate your download speed.

We have the Sony 55" W900 model. We have not seen any of those issues. The picture has been very clear. Our children and grandchildren have also been watching 3D movies with no issues and this group would point it out to us very quickly. I should also point out that I did not know what banding, flashlighting, or clouding problems were, but reviewed the issues on the internet to see what I should be looking for. We have not had any of those issues.

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 haven't seen flickering. Youtube works fine for me. Are you using the Youtube app, or a browser? If browser, which one? I've used Chrome and (mostly) the Youtube app.

Don't know if there's a fix(?). Mine has a very clear picture,better than most I've seen.

A parent frantically told me her daughter was giving the promotion speech, and could I please record it and put it on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1PXPekr5qc Sorry for the wobbles in the beginning, I only had a monopod. I turned the color saturation up 20% using premium pro.I can tell you the camera is great outdoors, but without plenty of sunlight the video gets grainy. It also doesn't have the color richness of a 3 chip camera, such as the fx-1. Something blood-red on the fx-1 is a flat, boring red on the a1-u. You get what you pay for. I'd go for a used FX-1 instead of an A1u, but the latter is much easier to lug around to promotions.

Right.. same question here.. some people have reported that they only see black & white image.. one reports it due to batteries not providing enough power...?? What's up with that..?? Does it display in color as advertised or in B&W;? Anyone know for sure?? Thanks!

I realize why it flashes black. It's happens when the picture quality changes. Its not entirely the players fault. The router shares the blame. With other streaming playes you won't notice it but this one announces it.

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.
