I think my Samsung 42" series 6 may be having problems.

I noticed occasional bad colouring on faces but it would just be quick and not too much of a problem.

The other day I decided to watch Heat again on DVD and was greeted by these colours for skin tones on the darker shots:



So I thought the DVD player was playing up so put the DVD into the xbox with these results:



Same thing just not as pronounced. I've since noticed it on some sky programs including Stargate Atlantis and Top Gear.

I'm thinking I'm gonna have to get in touch with Samsung support.

What do other people think?

I was asleep on my sofa about 2 metres from my front door when the delivery man drove his truck into the door as a way of knocking, I about shat my pantys as I fell of the sofa waking up.
I opened the door & said to him " What you got for me?" a Telly & a Washer he said. Washer round the back & telly in the front I said.
That was yesterday at around 2pm, The washer is still sitting in the middle of my kitchen floor Fully wrapped but my Telly is not only hooked up to my Virgin but also my DVD & 360

Initially although it looks Ace out the box I wasn't blown away by the pic. Some channels on Virgin are Superb but some could be better, I definately need a Quality Scart lead which I will get today if me money turns up.
with the 360 using VGA the pic is Gorgeous & GRID was Awesome to play, I had to ponce about with the sound though as it wouldn't come through the Telly speakers, God knows why as it did on my 19inch Flatty, I think I have missed a setting or summit, For now I have it hooked up to my house system & coming out to nice little monitor speakers I have. I'll be getting an Official HDMI lead today if money comes.
With my DVD it is Poifect & gives me summit to bench against the other inputs.
All in all though for 610 quid it is ******** Awesome

So I am now sitting in my easy chair using my new wireless keyboard & mouse hooked up to my lappy that is hooked up to my Forty
How kin Cool is that, I also have my HDMI lead & the picture is Much improved, So my Virgin, My 360, My DVD & my Lappy are all hooked up as they should be & I am now enjoying 40 inches of Samsung goodness
I also treated myself to Prizefighter but don't initially like it as much as Fight night 3, I will have to work on familiarising myself with it.

You are right there mate, I plan on playing every single game I own again, Watch every movie as well, I need to get a movie library sorted.
I am sitting here with the telly in one corner of the screen & my browser in the rest typing with KB on my lap. MSN is open & I am in Heaven here. Every time I look up at the screen I am saying to myself WOW. On top of that it is actually mine & old bill can't kick my door off & take it back
It is still early but this Telly may be my Best ever purchase in the history of Malc
