    I have a new Samsung PS50C530 Plasma , i connected my WDTV live to it through a AV cable, red white and yellow.
    Now whenever i pause the movie it becomes clearer
    Same thing if i'm in the menu and move the bar to another field, it becomes blurry as it moves.

    I cant test it on normal tv as i cant pause it

    Also how can i see if my tv is displaying 1080P through av or 720 ?

    Cant find nothing on this menu.

    The AV is limited by it's technology; it's not capable of transmitting an HD signal. In fact, it's been surpassed several times, and for all intents and purposes, is obsolete and should be discarded.


    As for the motion blur, it's not possible since a plasma display are not susceptible to motion blur. However, I do see that you're using a backwards connection protocol with a advanced display. I suspect this is what's causing whatever video aberrations you're experiencing.

    Also keep in mind that most HD TVs can have problems when displaying less than their native HD quality inputs. That's not where the manufactures puts his interest. If possible switch to a higher quality port.

    I placed that movie on a USB flash card and the tv plays it at a better quality and without blur
    So the problem is probably in the av cable
    But i hop its not in the custom firmware on the player or in the settings
    Now i can watch the show at great quality.
    Ill probably post here back after i buy a hdmi calbe and tell yall that it worked
