LCD, fed from DVD, color effects during end title crawl

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

My new LCD set is performing admirably, with just one annoying little
phenomenon so far. When I'm playing a DVD movie and the end titles
start crawling up the screen, transient color effects occur around the
title characters and sometimes in interspersed graphics. Paused, the
titles look perfect. A movie played off tape, or broadcast (no HD
here on the channels I use yet) doesn't have this problem. I've seen
nothing odd during action of various kinds up to really fast. Is this a
well-known LCD quirk? (I initially connected just the one-plug
video feed, haven't tried S-video or component yet -- need more
cables. The set's a Sony 32-inch, KLV-S32A10. The deck's a
Toshiba D-R2SC.)

Hied myself to the Source (previously, Radio Shack) store and got more
accessories. A component cable solved my problem, no more color FX
in the end titles (also, got rid of a moire-like effect in a LOTR battle
scene
with chain mail). Welcome to the 21st century for me, from a single coax
connection to a set with an amazing number of inputs of various types. Fun.
Thanks for your comments.
