cmvsm,

Thanks for your kind words, and I'm sorry to hear that you're having some issues with the picture.

Auto Motion Plus is adjustable for each input, since different sources may require different settings for optimal performance.

That said, some ghosting issues are a result of signal compression. Some ghosting issues are a result of video transfer from film to broadcast. These issues are inherent in broadcasting, and while processing can clean up some of those issues, it may very well be how the picture itself is being sent and received.

Sometimes the best processing is none. That's why we offer the ability to turn off the picture processing (AMP feature). The age of the unit is relatively moot if it is signal compression, but I understand that seeing this problem occur on a new television can be upsetting.

So exchanging it may not provide a better result (or it might!), but then, at least you'll know that your unit is not defective and avoid a service call later down if your doubt causes you to take action.

That decision is best made by you!

Keep me posted.
