automan Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 If you want to play dodgy video downloaded from the net use a PC for playback, problem solved permanently. You could try locking the media player to a single resolution rather than “auto”. I agree, that's what I told him. Still though the problem is not only the media player, it is giving that same error message from the samsung blu ray home theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automan Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 So DVD's and Bluray disks don't play reliably? It is strongly related to the hdmi inputs and is nothing to do with the machines play back performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automan Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Do DVD's and Bluray disks play properly or not? Yes and no. Sometimes they do and then it goes off and displays that resolution message on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 If genuine DVD and Bluray disks do not play perfectively there is a definite fault with the player or the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoool Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Bought one of these 3 weeks ago and just recently it has started to show quite a few 'sparkling' pixels across half to one third of the screen. They only seem to be visible on a light background and are various colours. I have booked a warranty service call but was wondering if anyone here may have any idea on specifically what could be the cause so that I am a little more informed when the technician gets here.

matt30186 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) G'day Just purchased one of these for $1185 from Good guys, was below cost , they showed me their computer screen with $1210 as the cost price written on it... anyway! its my first plasma, if i have contrast setting less than 70 for a good while to begin with is that all i need to be concerned about with break in periods? I watched 20mins of the 2012 blu ray as soon as i got it, and i noticed some lines retained on the screen where the letterbox bars were... they disappeared after 10mins or so... so perhaps i'll try avoid letterboxed viewing for a while? is this all sensible? i tried reading through the thread but its 8 pages long and I am struggling to stay awake so i'm hoping for some quick answers so just some settings for break in, and some settings to watch a blu ray like avatar in, to see how good it looks thanks guys Edited August 13, 2010 by matt30186 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan110024 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 overall build quality begins to look and feel like a cheap piece of s**t exponentially with every day that passes...hey - it is cheap, and every plasma has the buzz - right.Not good enough Samsung...no cigar It's a Samsung...

Hi mate, that seems a fantastic price for a 50" full HD plasma. As their online price is still $14??.00. Can you email me a receipt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
