Does this happen on just the S-video input or on the others? ON DVDs are you using component? John
I have a 42-inch plasma from gateway. I was wondering if there is anything I can do about the picture. I have dish network. I do not have a HD receiver just a normal DVR. I have it plugged into the back of the TV with S-Video. The receiver does not have DVI output, or Composite video input. My problem is that my TV gets really dark sometimes while I am watching something. If I change the channel it get lighter and the picture is better. Also when I am watching something sometimes it does not have a good picture of people?s faces (faces appear solarized). This is hard to explain. If you look at someone?s face on the screen it looks like patches are on it or something. But this only happens sometimes. Can anyone help me? I was thinking about getting a HD receiver form dish but I am not sure this will fix my problem. I have not had any problems with this TV. Have my computer and all my game systems and DVD player and everything works great but these two problems.
