    Adjusting your HD picture quality

    I see it on all channels and only on DVI input, so I think is got to do with DVI cable. I wonder if anyone knows about difference between Dual-link and Single-link DVI cables, can I use either one with VOOM?

Auto convergence did not help much, as right side of the screen was sharper then the left side regardless of the connection ( DVI or Component). I wonder if plasma HD screens have this type of problems, or they...
