Is there any way to disable the source information from popping up every time the channel is changed?

pinhunter27,

Do you have a cable/sat provider? I've noticed that there's a set resolution in the cable/sat boxes that maintain a certain resolution (for instance, set on 720p or 1080i), and for those signals, changing the channel doesn't bring up the INFO box information. If there's a break in signal as you change channels, or there's a variable resolution selection set on the cable/sat box, the television will see it as a new signal and inform you of the resolution each time you change the channel.

There's no toggle available to turn that off. That may not be the answer you're looking for, but does that help explain?

Yes unfortunately I was afraid of that...52in series 7 LCD...maybe a FW update to allow toggling that info on and off...that would be sweet...it's kind of annoying seeing it displayed everytime i change channels.

pinhunter27,

I can send the feedback up. I don't think it will happen, however, since the design is to allow the end user to see the incoming resolution and Hz rating as it changes. Still, your point of view is valid, and I'll be happy to pass this up to the appropriate department.
