Bought a Vizio 1080P LCD and had the green line as the others have. The cable man went to the cable box and powered off the unit. Then pressed the menu button(all this has to be done from the box not the remote). Leave the power on the TV. Find the item HDMI/DVI and change this setting to DVI. This cleared the green line but the audio was not working. Added a cable from the audio out from the

When Verizon updated the channel listing last month in Southern California in preparation for the HD switch, the green line problem was resolved. I changed my STB back to 1080p and no green line. So it took over a year to get the update.

Same issue with a Sharp Aquos 48 and Denon AVC3808CI. It's the Motorala HD/DVR box, and FYI comcast uses the same crap as Verizon apparently. Setting my TV to "Stretch" view mode which does chop a bit of image off but better than that green line and tearing.

using component vs hdmi for 1080i is not going to give you anything less. until (or whenever) broadcasts are even at 1080p is when you will require to use hdmi anyways.

if you want digital sound, use an optical audio cable.

2008-09-11T07:58:00.000-07:00

Speaking only for myself, I would not have gone with another provider. This is, in my opinion only, a tiny, minor inconvenience. So I used Full instead of dot-by-dot for a few months. Big whoop. I'm still saving over $800 compared to Comcast over the next two years. A few pixels is hardly worth $800 to me.

2008-09-11T06:11:00.000-07:00

I have just had a new service installed and the green line is there. I am being told that the fix shold be downloaded this month. The point is that we can all use component cables for now or change to 720 but we are still paying for a service that we are not receiving. No one told me that I wouldn't be able receive 100% digital at 1080 when i signed up or i'm sure most of us would have gone for

The issue was fixed on my set with the last update. I forget the version number of the IMG and I'm not at home right now to check. I'm pretty sure the major version is 1.6, but couldn't tell you what the build # is.

Wow, that is the first I have heard of it on the Playstation 3. I do not have that problem with my PS3. By chance, are you running the latest PS3 firmware? May an upgrade will change that issue.

I am also experiencing the green line on the right and the distortion on the left. I have a Toshiba 42HL196 42" LCD 1018p. My service is Comcast Cable using the same Motorola box. When I switch the box to 720p or use the component output both the green line and the distortion disappear. I just started seeing this issue two days ago. Thank you for creating this thread.

Thank God there is someone else out there with this annoying problem. Thank you so much for putting up this site. I have the same green line. I also have the distortion on the left side of my screen that was mentioned in another posted comment. My issues also go away when I change my cable box output to 720. I have a Toshiba 42" LCD 1080P. I also just got a newer cable box so I could take

I have a Sharp Aquos and am experiencing the same problem. Have had a Verizon tech out here...he promised an upgrade in January that would solve the problem. Upgrade came, problem is still there. Spoke with a tech today and they are aware of the problem and working on it. The only fix I've found is in the HD/DVR menu, changing the HD option to RGB. That will make your green line go away and

Hey All,

Got a Vizio 42" on Saturday and got the same problem with the distortion on the left and the green line on the right. I must admit I was pretty pissed because I spent a lot of money for a TV and while they gave me FREE HDMI cables in the box, it is unacceptable that FiOS would have this problem.

I switched to component cables and put it back to 1080i, did some

2008-02-02T04:25:00.000-08:00

Although changing the resolution to 720p gets rid of the green line, the waterfall effect on the left of the screen remains.

I have a JVC DLA-HD1 projector which uses YCbCr processing. I don't know about other TVs, but YCbCr is extremely common in the US. One problem of changing the color space to RGB is that it introduces unnecessary or incorrect video processing.

I recommend

I have the Vizio 42" 1080p. We just got the new upgraded media manager last thursday. Immediately, I too had the green line. I was told there may not be a fix for 6 months. And if I wanted out of my new contract, they would allow me to end the agreement. I think Verizon really dropped the ball on this one! There should be beta tests to ensure quality control. I will wait this out for a

2008-01-21T09:49:00.000-08:00

I downloaded the manual for the VU42LF and I don't see anything in it that corresponds to the overscan mode of the Pioneer. That leads me to believe the Vizio is probably always in a 1:1 pixel mapping mode (what Pio calls dot-by-dot) when it is being fed a 1080i/p signal. In your case, composite or sending 720p from the STB are the only options.

Hmmm...not sure if the Vizio has those settings? What is Full and dot-by-dot mode? Maybe Vizio calls it something else?

2008-01-21T06:55:00.000-08:00

Jaybird,

Have you tried setting your TV to a mode that uses some overscan? Just curious, because that fixed the problem on my Pioneer (the STB is outputting 1080i, hooked up via HDMI, using Full instead of dot-by-dot mode).
