for 3d scenes very dark or very bright, big horizontal stripes can be seen across the entire screen. is the tv defective or it is a config issue?

Hi, if you are seeing these symptoms for all the 3D videos or even on on other inputs (e.g. tv programmes, blu-ray disc), then it might be an issue on the TV. If in case that it only happens for a certain 3D videos, try to check on the 3D depth adjustment and 3D glasses brightness settings on the TV. -Ely

I think we're experiencing image burn-in on our 2 1/2-year-old 1080p LCD TV. When an HD show is on, there are now visible vertical lines marking where the sidebars of standard definition programs would be, almost as if a standard size screen were placed over the widescreen. There's also some shadowing in the top half of the standard screen area. This is most noticeable when the picture background is light colored. We had no idea this would happen. We were considering buying the Samsung model you've got, but we spend more than 5% of our TV time watching standard definition programs, and many of our DVD/Bluray movies have black bars on top and bottom. Maybe we'll just get by with our current set until the image burn-in problem is eliminated.

The screen is not reflective and the TV has a smart sensor that till brighten or dim depending on the light available in the room. I have 3 windows in my living room and this doesn't cause any issues unless the slight in shining directly on the screen

Hi Mike, Good question, I'll give you my "best guess" answer. I have had this great TV since April and searched the web for the same information. First, its not bad right out of the box. Second, seems the recommended settings vary for 2D and 3D, ambient light conditions and to some degree the signal source each of which can ALSO have a range of settings. I have left the settings on the signal source devices at default levels and made the suggested adjustments on the TV. I have the Spears & Munsil HD Benchmark Blu-ray DVD but have not used it with this TV, as yet. I have used the settings found at http://www.soundandvision.com/content/samsung-un75es9000-3d-lcd-hdtv-settings and just tweaked them a little bit for personal taste. Good place to start. Please advise if you find another source for useful settings. It's a great 2D TV and paired with a good 3D player, it does a good job of 3D as well, especially with little ambient light. Professional calibration is always an option as well. Best Regards, Marc

I am inclined to think something is wrong. Mine has a nice picture. I did no adjustments on my monitor. I kept the factory setting because the picture was great.

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.

That would e a good question for you to ask Sony mfg. Contact your Sony support to find out if it is defective and needs to be repaired, or if there is something that needs to be configured by you. Make sure everything you are using,(TV, Blueray, HDMI Cables, Etc.) are for 3D viewing. If they are not, that may be one of your problems.

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

Could be TV is in "ECO" Mode. Also, Energy Savings might be on. This setting adjusts brightness levels automatically. Settings are independent for each mode...Standard, Dynamic, Natural, Movie. Try turning off ECO and turning off Energy Savings. Go to Menu, then System, then Eco Solution, turn off Energy Savings and Eco Sensor.Try these settings:In Menu....Picture...Backlight 20, Contrast 100, Brightness 45, Sharp 45.Hope this helps. If not, I would call for service.Robert

Yes I had that problem with my Samsung TV. I now have a brighter cleaner picture without the white spots.

The skin tone flashing and auto dimming are two seperate things. My set had auto dim issues (screen going nearly black) and the first update took care of it. I still have the flashing issue, sometimes severe, and the updates do not fix it. Go to avsforum and search it, it's a huge issue with these sets. Type in "red flashing".

I'm really interested in hearing what you found. We just got a new Samsung TV and it has the same problem.

Unless you received a defective TV it sounds like a setting needs adjusting. Have you looked at the output settings on the BR player? Also, are you connecting it via HDMI? Other cables will give a lousier image. Also, you may need to adjust the color, contrast, etc., settings on the TV to make it look better.

My tv looks great, Please try to play something from amazon instant video or netflix, sometime cable signal is not as good as it should and image quality became bad. Believe me this is one of the best inversion I ever did, this tv looks so goodThat a lot of friend ask me where did I buy this tv because it looks so amazing. I have a 47" LG and you can note the quality difference. I think if you can see the pixel problem with netflix or amazon instant video then the tv it is not working properly

I didn't have that particular problem. However, I did return the TV because when the TV was on there appeared to be a tear (the way a torn piece of paper looks) across the top of it. I bought a 60 inch Samsung plasma and I Love It!

Not all plasmas, I am not sure yet why but I have a similar issue too, did not care to check if it was a various coloured noise or just various shades. I DO NOT have it on my other Panasonic professional plasma though.Either it's HDMI cable or just HDMI connection )I use DVI on others - or this TV has more faults then I initially thought...The worse thing is greenish tint vs older pro plasmas which may not have this deep of the black level but are all more accurate in my opinion. I had 2 of these before and haven't noticed this issue just now - also if you display a window on a gray screen you can notice horizontal smudges at the hight of the window border.
