Question regarding SA 8300HD PQ

[salia]

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here because i have a similar issue. Mine though is a very thin gray line that is on the right side only of the picture. Could it be the same thing?

[casper04]

yea, i've seen it before on component and HDMI,

Very common on the HDMI...
there's really no way around that if all your using is the 1080i

unless someone knows a way?

when you stretch picture it goes away right?

I see the line, too.

This is just me guessing here, but I think the line is some kind of out-of-band data (something like Closed Captioning) that is sent "outside" the picture area in the blanking interval. Or at least, that'd be what the old NTSC equivalent would be. I say this because the line sparkles in such a regular way that it really looks like data frames.

I don't think you should ever see the line, but most HDTVs have a way of switching from "dot-for-dot" or "1:1" mode on HDMI to an overscanned mode. The overscanned mode should hide the line.

I've seen the line when watching analog channels on my pc, because the standard is meant for tvs that over-scan you will see things that you shouldn't.

Don't replace your box, don't replace your cable, don't pass go and don't collect 200$
