Not all TVs support the 24Hz scan rate, which is what I'm guessing you're seeing. Set it t0 1080p/50 and all should be good.

Not all TV's can accept the native 24Hz output of a bluray player.

If your TV can not display this then you will need to change the output of the bluray player so it converts the Bluray content to some other format that the TV can display.

You might need to hook up the bluray player via yellow composite video to actually get a picture on the screen if you can't actually see the Bluray player setup menus etc now.

Can you confirm the model of your tv? I couldn't find it on the Samsung website. Is it possibly a LA46A650? Because if it is then it says it is 1080p/24 compatible.

Or 1080p60? I presume there is a PAL-speedup for 1080p24 Blu-rays with 50hz output? There are just a few Blu-ray movies encoded at 1080i50, like Once Were Warriors.

I'll bite, but only just....

I find you have to go better and better until you find tone that works for your equipment. Once it's working reliably there is nothing to be gained by going to a more betterer/more expensive cable as you already have it working.

That's where the 'would I notice a difference' line comes in like above. Yeah you would, as in it's having handshaking/dropout problems with a faulty or low quality cable etc, but once it's working, no you wouldn't notice a difference as there's nothing extra gained to notice, you're already getting it all.

Totally agree, i find handshaking the biggest issue with HDMI in my experience. Sometimes, the more equipments i pass the signal through the more likely hood i'll encounter handshake issues.
