Screen Artifacts

Saddly it sound like compresion artfacts if you only see this in a few movies at the same spot. It normal. When a movie is put on dvd it is compressed down to fit in a smaller space.

Being your sendding the picture via DVI you are seeing the movie in it real form. One of the benifts to running it svid or commponet is that the player and display divice tend to put a soft foucs on the image thus makeing it appearr theirs no artifacts. But I've found the best way to lesson the effects is to calbrate the tv with a calabratin disc. Often times the factory settings on the tv are not right for the home but rather for under the lights of a store. But anyway pickup the sound and vision disc from bestbuy or online. Yoou can adjust you settings to at laest make it look better


As far as the pause half way thew that's normal to its just the Player swithcing layers the laser has to move from the outeredge back to the inner edge. Some players are better then others at hidding this. Although I'm suprizzed your player does this as it a high end model. I have the samsung HD931 and I never notice it.


Also with my dvd player and tv I get the same artifcts over DVI but after calbration it looks better. I've found when I buy discs I look for ones in superbit or one that have HD transfers as they tend to have less compretion artifact issues. Look at star wars DVD, or the fith element DVD and sky captian DVD they all look great. As far as sky caption I only saw one instice of compretion in the beging as they are walking out the office the header above the door breaks up breafly..


Don't know if this helps but theirs my opnion
