I noticed the top half of the TV dims during some football games. Anyone else having this?

Nope mine works great. Actually I love it. wish I would've dropped the extra couple hundred on the slim though. But if you get a new one don't get a "smart' tv for another 80 bucks you can buy a Roku box, if you don't already have one, and it's WAY better.

No issues here, been using for 7 months now. However, I noticed one day my HD was horrible quality, and it started freezing and jitters. I tried to troubleshoot it all around on the TV settings and no luck, then I did a reset on the HD cable box and it was fixed!

I haven't experienced that phenomenon yet but I will be on the lookout for it game day. I am not too thrilled with the sound though. I have hooked up to the surround sound but the noise affects are much louder than the dialogue. Over all I love the picture and I think I made a solid purchase.

Sorry. I returned this TV to Costco after 1 week. I was not happy with the number of HDMI inputs (2) and of all things it was not WiFi. I have Vizio and I have not seen this problem.

I do not have this problem. If it is only during sports shows, it is probably the settings not a defect in the TV.

I've had this TV for ~9 months and have not noticed this ... There is a light sensor in the TV; perhaps sunshine or ambient light is causing this?

I just bought Vizio XVT473SV from Dell, which was delivered last week. Worked fine for a day or so, but I'm noticing some screen distortion/flickering occasionally. Also some audio cut-out. Some posts suggest this might be standard def vs HD channel issues. (cable) I've not had any indication of visual or audio problem yet when using the Internet Apps or when hooking up my laptop to it. But it doesn't always work right when I turn it on with it tuned to the cable box. The problem this morning with flickering was a situation with TV/cable turned on, cable tuned to a standard def channel from the night before. I tuned to an HD channel, the screen still flickered. I turned off cable and tv. Turned back on and all was well. I'm not happy to be seeing these kinds of problems within a day of having the tv though.

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

Nope never noticed any thing like that. Check your TV settings, in the burn in protection settings there is a setting called pixel shift, its turned on by default it moves the picture a small amount every couple of minuets to protect from burn in's. I suppose your settings could be off the default settings are pixel shift: on, Horizontal: 4, vertical: 4, time: 4 min. This probably your problem you could try turning it off at your own risk as you may have a higher chance of burn in's and most likely image retention. You payed good money though if that doesn't fix it return it! Samsung is know for problematic plasma tv's. I wish you the best! Nope never noticed any thing like that.

It sounds more like the signal source is the problem. If it was within the TV circuitry, all channels would be affected. ihave had no trouble with my TV and it stays at the top of the technical world.

Yes, I am having the same issue with my same model television. Mine was purchased the end of 2/08, it started doing that about a month ago and it is out of warranty. Have you had your repaired? If so, what was the cost? wants $150 just to come out and diagnose the problem.

Yes, I did! On the short side, where the power plug goes in, there is a half-moon shaped hole with nothing in it. My tv screen is rolling and I think the dip switches are supposed to be in the hole, so I could switch to NTSC. Do you have the rolling screen problem too?

I know exactly what you're talking about and that happens to mine as well from time to time. You probably can't work the volume on the tv either while it's happening too, right? Usually, what I would do is unplug it for the night and the next day when I wanted to watch it, I would plug it back in and the lower right corner glitch would go away. I will say that is my biggest gripe with the tv, but it's just a glitch and unplugging it always worked for me in the past. Hope this helps!

I watched a Detroit Lions game and also a USC game and the jersey colors didn't look accurate but that could probably be fixed with a proper calibration as far as the blur I didn't notice any but you have to make sure you are a good distance away from the tv for it to look clear because the closer you are the more the picture clarity diminishes.

That happened To us and we had to use an hdmi cable and it fixed the issue. We we used a cord connect the cable box to the TV instead of the hdmi, we had that issue. Hope that helps!

I also just got this tv & am having the same issue. It's very distracting & is driving me crazy! Im actually considering sending it back & going back to my sony sxrd. Any help would be much appreciated because i do love the color depth on this tv & hate to get rid of it.

We have not had that issue. But, sounds like you have had it happen on a few different systems which seems really odd. I was thinking it was the A/V cables are not in properly or the tv needs to be turned to a different input. Hope that helps!

Yes there are settings in buried in the menu, you can do a color wash to help with burn in image. I keep ESPN on a bit and play video games and there aren't any issues. The first month there were little issues but would disappear but after a couple months there are not.

I have not had that problem, sorry hope you find out what it is, maybe its normal for your TV.

No, I have not gotten that on mine. Not sure what that would be. Maybe check your cable connection to make sure they are not loose.

I do not notice anything like that on my display. So far, for me, this is a really good TV.

I have only noticed a minor motion 'jerkiness' on a couple of TV shows, but I attribute it to my satellite receiver, otherwise Sports in HD and DVD viewing are phenomenal! I will look into the owners manual, to see if I can find anything. You say it is intermittent...for all viewing or on certain shows? Also, are you viewing via cable or satellite?
