all of the tvs of that design i've seen have looked very good (almost as good as plasma). Unless of course it is one of the zone (grid array of leds) led backlight arrays in which case its a possibility but shouldnt be happening unless it was a poor design. led backlit televisions are typically edge lit (at least the ones in your price range are) so if anything the edges will be lighter but it shouldnt be very noticible at all. sounds like ccfl backlighting not led to me unless you can verify its a ledtv. typically you may see slightly darker and slightly lighter areas but not a clearly defined band. this was a factor in some ccfl backlit televisions. Visible light bands mean poor backlight distribution. it may also be more prevalent when you arent running the game at the monitor or televisions native resolution.
i noticed this on both a lcdtv and monitor for the same game. is this what it looks like?įlickering of images may have to do with how the game is coded and anti-aliasing settings. generally this looks as if the image isnt disappearing right away almost as if its merging with the next image. Image trailing sounds like ghosting to me.
