Re: Curious...what is this blotching I see in all DVDs?...

I own a Sony ES9000 DVD player as well. It is connected to a 61" Sony XBR. The artifact that I have seen occurs on most DVD's that I watch as well and I would discribe it as a shadowy type banding that is seen when there are light objects and dark objects on the screen together (like in What Women want when the camera pans from a white wall past some dark brown bookshelfs) or in artificial light conditions (like in Gladiator when Russel Crow is in the tents, near the beginning of the movie, when campfires are used for light). This banding sometimes moves with the object and then disappears. Sometimes it is so slight it is not noticeable. It does not occur in all scenes but is random. Is this the kind of artifact you are referring to? I have yet to figure it out, even had a Technician look at it and he did not know.
