Ghosting on my plasma

gaznik · 23-05-2008, 18:29

Just recently bought a 42 in samsung plasma, i have sky + and some of the chanels have a really good clear picture i am very happy with these compared to my old 32 in lg lcd.
However a few channels have "ghosting" even on slow moving scenes. For example if i watch a movie on sky prem its very good but some of the other movie channels are bad and also if i watch stuff from anytime this tends to ghost.
Any ideas on why or any settings i could try

How do you mean it ghosts? Ghosts as in the picture looks slightly blurry or "smeary"? If so, then it's probably the TV showing up the flaws in the sky picture - chances are the lower quality movie channels which use higher compression are the ones that look worst.

Yes blurry or smeary, i thought that might be the case, will think about hd upgrade when the ismore to watch.

If your set has "Movie Plus" in the menu try turning it off, as this gives an awful Hlo type effect around people/objects due to the added processing.
