In Reply to: Mpeg2 artifacts revealed by component input... posted by lindseyp on December 05, 2001 at 05:32:22:
In addition to what I mentioned below it's also worth remebering that plasma and artifacts are two words that you will seldom find separated by more than a few words in a single sentence. Moire, banding, MPEG artificts, etc., are par for the course for the current generation of plasma flat panels, unfortunately. The best of this breed simply have fewer of these problems, but even the best are more prone to this that any CRT based display device. Reducing sharpness will probably help, as will careful calibration, but image artifacts will always be there...joe

Thanks, but the artifacts here are clearly mpeg-2 ones, not ones created by the display. They are barely visible when using s-video input, but become much clearer when using component input, due to the enhanced clarity of the picture as a whole.I'm very happy with my plasma display for all but regular NTSC television broadcasts, I was just lamenting the fact that -- as always -- investing in quality hardware has lifted the curtain and highlighted problems inherent in the software. A bit like a new pair of speakers revealing hitherto-unnoticed compression hiss on live recordings.
I'll try playing with the sharpness to strike a good balance. I must also note that the DVD on which this was so noticeable was Toy Story. With it's cartoon-like flat tone shading the effect is far more noticeable than a filmed movie.
