the tv works fine on video inputs(yellow) , but not properly using the component inputs from the cable box or the dvd component in either. Help! I can't get my HD! thanks, Dave
-   The Screen will flicker for a second with horizontal bands of distorted colours then black, then distortion then black. At this time, the status/power light flashes green with **** picture, then orange to black. It's as if the TV cannot recognise or decide on an appropriate frequency/resolution. From testing I've found NTSC Dvd's are more likely to work and disks formatted with computer content sometimes work too. But majority of my PAL DVD's will not work unless I switch to a Yellow component input, not the other. the only problem with this is most devices can't recognise any HD resolutions plugged into it.
So Y/Ypr/Ypb works but no HD for all DVD's.
C/Cpr/Cpb will only work with very select disks if at all but supports HD resolutions that the HD Tuners and Playstation 3 use (in this case, up to 1080i)
I hope this helps, I still do not have an effective solution.

-   I have a philips 26" LCD purchased last year. Recently my DVD player broke, which was ran through S-Video cable. When out purchased a new one which could only be hooked up by using the component AV's red blue green. Turned on DVD player and see light distortion with the picture on both the movie and intro screen. Tried several movies same results went out bought new cables same result. Tried different AV outputs same result. I am really puzzled, could this mean all of my AV outlets are bad and how and how much can something cost to get fixed?-   tlaram01

Problems with Samsung SyncMaster 940MW 19 in. LCD Television. Wont turn on, little green light flickers once when I press on button then nothing. Please help me :(
Watching a movie through a Pioneer DVD player model DV-341 comes in grainy and black and white on the Hitachi P42H401 42-Inch Plasma HDTV. Using Monster cables to connect Y, Pb, Pr, form dvd player to tv. DVD does not have HDMI, but has S-video.
I think he's trying to say that the resolution doesn't adjust properly for component videos. I have the same problem. When I try to watch a wide-screen DVD and I hit FULL screen aspect ratio, it only stretches the image sideways with two black bars on top and bottom of the wide-screen. The ratio of 4:3 is still there, just stretched to fit the TV. System info shows the resolution being 720x240 without change. Any solutions?
