Do you have to turn on the TOC feature? Just got the this Touch of Color tv and can not see any red around the edges. Is there a setting I have to do, to turn on the TOC feature?

TOC is meaningless for most of the people as it does nothing.However the product is awesome.

It's there, just very subtle and no, there's nothing to turn on. Fwiw, we have a 52" and the above 40" Samsung, both w/ TOC and can barely see it - and that's only when looking for it. If you really want to see it, hold a flashlight behind the edge in a dimly lit room.Frankly, I think Samsung just uses TOC as a marketing tool ...

Hey Amit,I have had the TV for 4 months, and have almost exclusively played my xbox 360 on it. If there are any burn in issues, I dont see them! I think a little common sense with regards to setting the TV to dim after inactivity, or even shut off (mine does automatically after fifteen minutes of inactivity). Anyway, Ive had no problems! Games look beautiful on this TV, by the way.

Hi there! I have the 46D64U and I believe I have the answer for you. If you're watching HD content through the HDMI cable, you shouldn't have to watch it zoomed or stretched. With an HDMI connection your "view mode" options (the button is above the 3 on your remote) should be "Stretch, dot by dot, S.stretch, and zoom." If you are watching a true HD broadcast or source, you should select "dot by dot" as this will ensure that nothing is cut off or distorted. If, when you select "dot by dot," the image does not fill the entire screen (i.e. it looks like it's not widescreen, there are black bars flanking the image, etc.) then what you're watching isn't actually HD. Make sure the show you're watching is actually in HD; sometimes the channel guide will say it is even when it's not! I personally keep my settings on "dot by dot" regardless of content because I don't mind when non-HD content doesn't fill up the entire screen. I don't like having the image stretched and distorted as I feel it looks worse that way. You may have different preferences, but make sure that whenever you're watching true HD content you aren't stretching the image or zooming in. Hope this helps!

Friend, could you tell me if it offers CAPTIONS when downloading like a Netflix movie?? My son can do this and I can't, and I'm very hard of hearing so cannot understand anything without the CAPTIONS!! (I also have an older Sony Blu-Ray)! (My tv does support it)

If you have dish there is a button on the remote that says format it gives you a couple options choose normal.Sometimes if the channel is a HD channel it automaticly has the black lines on the side there is nothing you can do for that as far as I know. I would call LG about the picture problem. I have not had any problem with the picture its great.

I have exaclty the same problem. I've had comcast at with this tv, and wide screen option was availabe at my old address (using HDMI cable) but at my new home, it's now grayed out. I believe it may have something to do with the comcast reciever. Can not find a FORMAT option on my cable box remote. It does have a position picture adjust option under the menu but that does not solve the issue as it just helps you move a slightly left ,right, up .or .down. I'm geting a 32 inch picture on a 53" TV. Totally SUCKS!Samsung forman suggested

Can't comment more on the Blu-ray aspect as had same experience. But as for the color mine is black with like a clear panel over the top of the lid, probably reflective. I thought it was going to be blue but I think we're getting misled by the color of the screen-purple-in the website pictures. The website never actually gives a color and "Graphite" would indicate "black" as in pencil lead. The Blu-ray mention is the more serious problem and very misleading.

I see your point of view, but I am reviewing the television. In my opinion, it was lacking a feature I was looking for, how was that unfair?

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've been fiddling w/ mine..trying to find that settings screen(I know I encountered that screen when I first got this gadget)can't locate it at the moment(but I know it's there somewhere)look for the settings screen(I believe that's the screen where you choose the color you want full-time)

Okay, you might have your format ratio set to either zoom or super zoom.. On your remote, change the format to 'gray bar' (or normal) and see if that clears up your problem.. As the hand-held is not a wide screen, the wide screen on your main TV (through the cable remote) is causing this .. Just return to your former setting when the hand held is not in use.

I have been tweaking my new set's picture for 3 days now. The high def is terrific but I only get 12 channels of HD. Since 50% of my viewing will be standard def cable channels, I am very disappointed that I can't get the SD picture to a level of acceptability. (I feel compelled to go to another room and watch non-HD programs on my old 36" CRT.) Any suggestions on setting changes for SD programs? A lot of the screen is blurry and pixelated (with or without the 120-Hz on).

Hi Marcel:Thanks, that information is really helpful. Can you comment on the accuracy and acceptability of the color when you use the WD TV media hub to show jpeg photos on an HDTV? I realize this can be quite subjective, but if you have used a WD TV to show jpegs on an HDTV, I would be interested in your comments.Thanks, Richard

If you go to the menu (on the remote), one of the sections in the left column will show a "closed captions" section in the right column. You can adjust the closed caption settings there. (Sorry I can't give more specifics because I just got my TV today and after updating the firmware the TV is now completely dead. But that's my understanding from having messed with the settings before that happened.)

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.

Thanks for the reply on the closed caption problem. I tried it but still with no success. I turned off the box with the TV on and could not access the menu that way. I'm not sure how this could be possible with the cable box off. Do yo have the link for that topic in the AVS forum.Thanks again

Do you have Acrobat Reader or Professional? I'm not sure if Reader has highlighting ability, and I can't check since I have professional, but the highlighting tools should be under Comments &gt; Comment
