nothing more than compression artifacts...... MPEG does the worst where the is a gradual change of color... that's where you will notice the biggest problem with the artifact... i own the same player, it does a pretty good job of correcting it most of the time.... if your TV's contrast and brightness are set to high, you will pronounce the problem.

  I looked around, and it IS apparently your 9000 that causes this artifact. Many other brands and models at every price point do the same thing to differing degrees. A few people have mentioned it on the video sites, but have different names for what seems to be the same effect. If I had looked for it with the RP56 I wouldn't have even seen it anyway. Many people do not even notice the effect. Have you ever seen somebody using a computer monitor set for 60Hz refresh, and the screen seems like it's vibrating. Drives me crazy, and when I comment on it, I get "What do you mean?". So some people are just not sensitive to video "anomalies"; even when they're told they're there, they don't see them.
