I am overall happy with TV (about a 7.5 out of 10), but have some issues with playback which I'm curious to find out if others have similar issues and/or solutiosn to them.
The first issue is that sporadically while watching movies and TV shows, I will get some distortion in the playback (usually starting at the bottom of the screen). It reminds of the old days when you had to adjust the tracking on a VCR. It's like a little distortion or wave. It's not on the screen for more than a few seconds, but it's somewhat distracting when it happens.
I have checked my connections (HDMI cable) and they are secure. By the way, I have a 37 inch LCD 1080p television, and my ATV is set to playback at 1080p as well.
Just curious if anyone else has had this happen or knows what causes this and/or a solution.
The second issue is a bit more bothersome. In scences that have black background or that are shot in low light, there is distortion in the picture. The best way I can describe it is to say that it looks pixelated, but that is not completely accurate.
I wasn't sure if this is a limitation of digital files being shown on a larger screen TV or not. I kind of have the same problem on my iPhone and iPod, but since it's a smaller screen, it's not as noticeable.
Again, any thoughts on the nature of this issue, or any cure would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
