Greetings all..I am new here so take it easy!
Recently, I purchased a Samsung PN50550B Plasma for my family and while we have enjoyed it, I have lately been noticing a slight change in brightness/contrast while viewing HD cable content. I have disabled pretty much all auto features (particularly of note, the dynamic contrast setting and the auto DNR) and yet this intermittent flickering remains. In terms of Blu Ray movies, I havent watched enough to determine whether or not this "problem" is exclusive to cable content or both cable and Blu Ray.
Now, a Samsung LED we owned prior contained a feature (within the Service Menu) titled "Dynamic CE" or something to that affect. I disabled this on the previous panel in order to stop this intermittent "flickering," thanks to an AVS search. However, with the 550B plasma, this setting already seems to be disabled. So, Im gathering that this particular setting does not necessarily address the issue at hand when using this plasma model.
Are there any other settings, within the Service Menu, that would eliminate this intermittent change of brightness when using the 550B plasma?
BTW- The latest firmware exists on this tv and I am using HDMI (current standard) for both cable and Blu Ray delivery.
