Sony SXRD Problem - motion pixal blur

by pfitzingerr Feb 14, 2006 6:48AM PST

Recently purchased 50" SXRD. Having problem viewing events with fast motion (i.e. Olympics etc.) Set is hooked to HD cable box (required by my vendor). Connected using componet input cables provided by cable vendor. Picture blurs when objects are in motion; seems to break into large blocks. Confused by this as review indicates 5 ms refresh rate should keep SXRD from having these type of refresh rate issues. Appreciate thoughts and suggestions.

That 5 mS is at what temperature.
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Feb 14, 2006 6:54AM PST

LCD and other displays have variable response times depending on the temperature of the LCD.

If the unit is warmed up and the room is in the 65 or so F degrees, then it's time to call for return if this unit is bothering you.

This May Not Be A Problem With Your Set
by tonypsx Feb 14, 2006 8:07AM PST

I read just today on thedigitalbits.com that they have noticed the same thing while watching the Olympics. They blamed it on NBC using too much compression. I don't think it's your TV. I've noticed the same thing, and I know it's not a problem with my set since CBS HD football games looked great with no blockiness.

NBC using too much compression

Which is caused by a lack of bandwidth... I have seen this at other times on other stations, but a lot in the Olympics.

Not sure it's the TV

I have the 60 SXRD and do not get the so-called screen door effect (what you are describing) on HD programming. The only time I have seen even a hint of it is with a non-HD signal watching basketball and I have the picture set to 16:9 ZOOM (instead of its native resolution in 4:3). But you should not see any of what you describe when viewing an HD signal. All my HD is through Directv and off-air antenna.
