How then? A try for a better explanation: Certain videos (for example the Neo<->Smith fight sceen in Matrix Revoluitions) with fast changing lightning conditions expose some screen distortions. They are of two kind: The upper half of the screen is still in "bright condition" when the lower half is in "dark condition" -- what comes first and where this "break" is, depends. Also varying is the position of this "break" on the screen. The other distortion is based on similiar lightning conditions (fast changes) and looks like a small stripe of video has been drawn to much left or right compared to the rest of the screen. I can describe how it looks like and I may have an idea what the root of the problem ("I have an idea" does NOT mean "I know" or "I am sure"!) is: 50Hz vs. 60Hz. I asked here for technical help, since based on what I suppose I didnt find a solution myself. -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
