I just got my 65813 last week. I was in a local Tweeter and saw the Sony 975 upscaling DVD player and asked for a demo on their floor model 65813 using a Monster HDMI/DVI cable. I wanted to see if there was any issue with green push, as I have read elsewhere on AVSForum. To my surprise, there wasn't any. In fact, it looked great. So I bought one, raced home and hooked it up. To my horror, the picture was definitely greenish, especially skin tones. Tried calibrating with AVIA to no avail. Switched to component input, which looked normal. Decided to return the player to Tweeter. Just for laughs, I got them to hook up my player and cable to their floor model TV-- the acual DVD player and cable I bought, not the demo model they used the day before. To my bafflement, it was fine! No green push at all! What's going on here? Is there something in the Service Menu that addresses this problem?


Another issue I am having is with occasional horizontal banding, especially on overlays like Comcast cable menus and onscreen chyrons or graphics. The Mits replaced my Sony KP-51WS510, and I never saw any banding on that TV, ever. Do I have a lemon here? Before I have Tweeter replace the set, I thought I'd ask the experts here first. Thanks in advance.

I have the 65813 and Comcast, and don't see any banding. Also, I have

the Onkyo DV SP 1000 plug with a HDMI/DVI cable and have no green push

or blacker than black problems. Since is still under the warranty, I would

ask tweeters to replace the set.

Have them swap the set.

To further complicate my confusion, I also auditioned a Samsung 841 for about a half an hour and saw no green issues over DVI. Of course, the picture looked like sh_t, but that's a topic for a different thread. So, basically, trying two different players through my TV's DVI port yielded normal color on the Samsung and green depression on the Sony. Because the problem did not exist with the Samsung, I have to believe that the DVI port on my TV is fine. Yet, connecting that same Sony player to the exact same model TV on Tweeter's sales floor yielded normal color with no green depression whatsoever.


Is there a setting in the Mits' service menu that needs to be changed that allows it to accept SD color matrix over 1080i HDMI?

Is there no one out there who can help? I find that hard to believe!

Have the set replaced. These are great TVs, but every company makes a few lemons.

Yeah, it's starting to look like that's the way to go.


I was using an HDMI/DVI cable between the Sony DVD player and the TV. For the purposes of comparison, I bought a straight DVI cable and ran it between the Comcast cable box and the TV. Even there, the colors definitely had a greenish tint to them on HD channels when set to the Low color settings. It's like High and Medium seems somewhat normal; Low is overly green.


So I believe that's the problem: the factory configuration of colors for the Warm setting on the DVI input pushes green.
