I can see not vertical, but horizontal bands.

Am I missing something?

its drive me crazy. I assume that its caused the 6bit panel, Samsung has 18bit per colour. You just boughts bad TV.

guess having poor eyesight isnt such a bad thing heh. I only wear my glasses when i drive or have to read things far off, when I'm 6-8 feet from my tv laying in bed i take them, hardly notice the grain in my plasma

Ya, I know about the issue. Cnet had a problem with it too. I just didn't imagine it was such a distracting problem. It looks horrible. Like I said, it defeats the whole purpose of hdmi because it makes it look like analog interference through component cables. Is there going to be a firmware update to fix this??? I mean it should be fixable. Samsung, Sony, Visio, etc. don't have this problem. Can't LG just reverse engineer one of its competitor's sets??? This is getting ridiculous.

Yes, its banding. Go to AVSforum.com and see all of the others who have the same issue.  It's a known problem on the LX9500. The scene was from a panasonic blu-ray, directly connected via HDMI......

Are you sure this is banding? I thought banding only occurred in extremely white picture fields. It looks like it could be analog signal interference. How did you have the TV hooked up? component cables or HDMI? If this is banding, it would be very distracting to me. I would rather have the slightly higher black levels of a Plasma than to have this. Even phosphor lag on a plasma is less noticeable than whatever this is.
