Installed perfectly, but all I see is a terrible blurry image :( Lifecam HD-5000 720p HD webcam Anyone else? If so, how did you go about fixing this? My "Lifecam HD-5000 720p HD Webcam" installed perfectly, my system has MORE than enough to run this sucker and yet all I get is both a terribly blurry picture, no access to the "funimations" and effects, and it only allows me to adjust a few settings.I tried many things that should have fixed it, but no luck thus far. Needless to say confusion rules my mind at the moment lol.If anyone knows how to fix this problem do tell me if yah could.

Returned for refund,auto-focus CANNOT be turned off,that destroys the products usability completely !Micro$haft, you suck...Mystyx, they limit this product to 3-Gb of memory,many others have posted it clears up whena stick of memory was removed temporarily...

Turn off TRU-COLOR. then you get a settings tab there you can turn off the annoying and useless autofocus and mess with other settings as well.

Hi Titus. I have the Looxcie HD and the video is 1080 instead of 720 and it's wx resistant. The shape is better for what I wanted too. . . .

Gadgetjq: Great post... but my problem is that I disabled my webcam (thinking to save HD space from something I wouldn't use) and now want it back (now I'm a grandmother going on a trip!) It doesn't appear under My Computer at all. Can I get it back??Thank you for any help!

Dear C. B. Huynh, I have the same error. According to this forum here: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic335194.html this is standard since the max resolution is 720 x something. Hope this helps, Thomas

Michael is correct. I hadn't used my camera during the past couple of months. I had previously set my video resolution to "Standard," because my desktop runs on XP and couldn't handle the higher resolution. I recently got a new lap top and, just last night, returned the resolution to its original. I found that it's sometimes confusing as to how to get to what you want in the menu. Just be patient!

Anthony: I used to have a JVC Everio, the first model out some years back. I loved the size of the thing, and it took great still pics. The only thing I didn't like was the .MOD file extensions for the videos. It was, quite frankly, a pain in the butt trying to deal with the vids. I ended up selling it. I don't know if they corrected that .MOD nonsense, but somehow I don't believe so. Go with the SONY (my opinion). Congrats on the baby :-) Mike

Yes i tried both ways....i first burned it as a data disc and i also tried creating AVCHD DVD....in both cases i saw that PS3 audio is choppy in 1080p mode.....1080i doesnt seem to have any issues. The video camera itself plays the 1080p with no issues when connected directly to my HDTV....is this an issue with my PS3 ? has anyone tried this ?

I love this TV. It was a purchase of a lifetime for me. However, I NEVER could get the guide working properly. My cable system has it's own guide system, but sometime, I just want to watch just the TV, and use their guide. It keeps telling me that the guide is downloading overnight, but the next day, there is still NO guide information on the screen. If you got yours working, please tell me how you did it. Thanks "Emil"

quality reminds one of 320 x 240 .. not a clean 720 by any means. Comparable blur on lettering gives it away as below par of a 720p normal cam. Mine had poorly aligned lens to the hole in pen. That could be part of the problem. Quality control is nil on this and a thousand like it and my complaint got no reply. The ills of mass prod. imported gadgets I guess. Crapped out other spy devices too at &gt;100 bucks. All said, the quality for the price is not bad. It just wont excite ya.

The one I just bought does not do either. It's broken and I will return it. I had one previously that I broke, myself, by accident. It did video with audio and still shots. But with these suppliers, it is uncertain what you will actually receive, or if it will work. The first one I bought had higher resolution than was advertised 720p vice 640p, which was a pleasant surprise. I was happy with the first one and will probably send the one back and ask to have it replaced.

TThanks for the info. From what I now know, webcams are "VGA" or about .3 megapixel. I bought the N800 and found a 'snapshot' application. Under ideal conditions like office florecent lighting and a still subgect five feet away it captured a nice image. The default webcam seemed to blur horribly with moderate movement. I don't know how much that could be corrected with improved software, but seems to be common in devices like the 'flip'.It's a great feature, but no replacement of my heavy cannon powershot.t.t.

Hello there....sorry to hear that you are having issues. I bought mine for my son. He told me that he is using the factory settings, default, and the picture looks great. try using the default settings, if that does not work you may want to return it. Hope this helps....good luck.

Here is a video that I took. It is recorded at 720P. I didn't want to bother with 1080P because I don't think it would have made that much difference and would just chew through hard drive space faster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz7ZmTy87Vk

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.

S. Albert - I was thinking the same thing - taking the laptop and Minoru webcam out and capturing something interesting (more interesting than my face). But when going through the reviews, a few people have said that the picture gets overexposed easily and it works much better indoors. That's the only reason I'm hesitating to buy this thing. Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon -- someone mentioned that it was possibly just a software fix.

When I use the digital blue software the picture in normal, not blue. The border is blue. Do the top and bottom lights work?There are other web cam programs that work. Maybe try Manycam

I'd be curious about this as well. I bought a standard definition FS200 which had really grainy, poor video quality. I'm ready to pay extra for the HD version but would like to know how you like the video quality of of the HF200 so far.
