So I got my Comcast 5100 HDTV cable box yesterday, and hooked it up via S-Video connections through my 5040, through a switcher with S-Video inputs and an output, and to my standard TV with one S-Video in.
The video quality is noticably improved in some areas (particulary rendering deep colors like reds), but that said, there is an almost imperceptible "strobing" or "blinking" effect on some channels.
Meaning the brightness/colors seem to change back and forth ever so slightly from (very) slightly brighter to (very) slighly not-so bright every second or so.
It requires concentration to notice, it's that subtle, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else has encountered this, or if anyone has any ideas as to what may be the cause?
btw - I have my DVD player connected via its S-Video out, through the same S-Video switcher, to the same TV, and it does not display this effect, the picture is amazing.
