I don't get the rave. I have a CRT Toshiba cinema series 34" wide/flat with HDMI and " thought " I had the need for a plasma. Well, I brought home a Samsung LNT-4245 / 720p which sure looked great at the store, but the pixlated motion artifacts are buggin the hell outta me. Oh yes, it has slightly better saturated colour, but overall, I found this tv, and many others to not even be as good as what I already have, what gives?!!!
This tv by rights, should be huge strides over the CRT type. I am using a Starchoice HD-505 box, DVI-HDMI cable, and a nice power cable from the TV. The plasma sets are supposed to have superior motion specs over the LCD's, but if this is as good as it gets, I'll stick with what I have. Am I missing something here, and adjustment, setting? ANY SUGGESTIONS ?!

I recently went from a top-of-the-line Sony XBR 36-inch CRT set that had one of the finest standard pictures I had ever seen to a Panasonic 58-inch 720p plasma set. I am equally happy with the picture quality on standard broadcast on the palsma set on all kinds of programing, including sports with rapid movement; it works beautifully. Of course there is no comparison on HD programing. The plasma is stunning when fed a good signal. I use the HDMI connection. I wonder if you have a problem with your set, as my experience and I'm sure many others suggest that your problem isn't plasma set technology in itself.

I bought a Panasonic TH-42PX600U in January and have yet to see any of the motion artifacts you describe. In fact, I chose plasma over LCD because I saw those artifacts on many LCDs; I discounted DLP because I saw the rainbow effect on many sets.

Although geeks and spec-heads will tell you that digital DVI/HDMI connections are *always* better, I have found that in some instances this is not true. Sometimes the analog sections are better-engineered.
I tried using digital video connections from a Comcast Motorola HD PVR to my plasma television, and experienced solarization and video noise effects on HD pictures. I switched to component video connections, and the problems went away.
Perhaps you should give this a try.
A CRT set is still superior to other technologies with respect to black level and lack of motion artifacts. Plasmas, and even more so LCD sets are prone to all kinds of motion artifacts and mosquito noise, etc. But, there is a limit to how big one can make a CRT set and rear projection CRTs are also not available these days.
Just have to live with the new digital reality.
Have you considered having the display professionally calibrated by someone who knows what he is doing?
G'day,
The pixilation is possibly not the screen but the source. The set-top box might be the culprit. I am not a fan of HDMI> DVI cables. Try hooking it up with good component cables.
Do you get pixilation watching a DVD?

I don't know if this is related, but from dvd's I burned artifacts are caused by too much resolution to a compressed format which I'm guessing is compressed when the signal is sent over the Sat.. So I suggest you try playing a dvd from an upscaler if you can and see if you still get artifacts.
Let me know I am curious if this is what's happening.
OOOps, should have said model number HPT-4254 which indicates plasma, NOT LNT which indicates LCD models, sorry......
