Samsung LCD ~ HDMI Black Level Grayed Out

by TechnoLion Oct 21, 2010 9:20AM PDT

Hello Everyone,

I've this little annoying problem which at times can get really frustrating... The HDMI Black Level appears & disappears time to time while watching tele... it's a Samsung LCD - LA32S8/720p/HD Ready.

Could this be a technical problem within the LCD? cause if the digital signal wasn't right, it would never appear than. or does it have to anything with the HDMI cable quality?

Samsung LCD ~ HDMI Black Level Grayed Out

TechnoLion,

It may be reacting to the signal. Is it visible with HD programming, but say, not SD programming?

This problem occurs with both HD & SD TV content. - funny thing is it re-appears every now & then...
Searching for a solution on web, i found it's more like a universal problem that effects some Samsung LCD models.

Samsung should address this defect officially, there is no digital signal error... because then my Sony LED would've had a similar problem.

Any good solution, please let me know.

- Thanks.
