Black bands appear at the edges of the screen

Some wide screen programs are filmed in aspect ratios that are greater than 16:9 (this is especially common with theatrical releases). Your TV will show these programs with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. For more details, check the documentation that came with your DVD (or contact your program provider).

Programs in 4:3 aspect ratio will have bands on left and right sides of the screen.

Certain programs on DVD or other digital sources display a loss of detail, especially during fast-motion or dark scenes

This is due to the digital compression of the source content used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs which may cause your TV’s screen to display less detail than usual, or cause artifacts (small blocks or dots, pixelations) to appear on your screen. These signal compressions are more visible and are dependent on the clarity and resolution of the television.
