Samsung LN40D550 HELP highlight flickering/colour changes during gaming

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Sorry if this is the wrong section. i bought a samsung LN40D550 (actually 551, costco model). the picture for movies is great ( regular dvds so far), but l notice alot of flickering on highlighted areas, fences, trees, bushes, railings, designs on people cloths stuff like that, l find it distracting.

For games (Xbox 360 with HDMI) what really bothers me is the colour tone changes when l move the camera, this has happend on every game to some degree. Example if l look at a brick wall the colours are the way l like them, then when l move the camera the wall (and most shadow areas) become darker while l am moving the camera, once l stop it all turns lighter again. I am not sure if this is because of the Auto dimming, I'm not sure, but that is very distracting.

I am thinking of taking it back because of this. My brothers 32 lcd doesn't have the colour tone change darker when moving the camera. Any opinions what help alot. thanks.

I tried all the different modes and it still does it. The colour turning dark when l pan the camera in games isn't as noticeable when l jack the brightness up, but then the color isn't the way l want it.

also make sure everything is off under eco solution in the system menu AND set shadow detail to +2 (this nearly eliminates the auto-dimming) under advanced picture settings
