Re: Mpeg2 artifacts revealed by component input...

Thanks, but the artifacts here are clearly mpeg-2 ones, not ones created by the display. They are barely visible when using s-video input, but become much clearer when using component input, due to the enhanced clarity of the picture as a whole.

I'm very happy with my plasma display for all but regular NTSC television broadcasts, I was just lamenting the fact that -- as always -- investing in quality hardware has lifted the curtain and highlighted problems inherent in the software. A bit like a new pair of speakers revealing hitherto-unnoticed compression hiss on live recordings.

I'll try playing with the sharpness to strike a good balance. I must also note that the DVD on which this was so noticeable was Toy Story. With it's cartoon-like flat tone shading the effect is far more noticeable than a filmed movie.
