are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a
defective product.
There is video noise or artifact on the
picture.
When the RPTVs digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast
signal, the signal is up-converted (increased) to match the
RPTVs display capabilities. This process may cause video
noise or artifact on screen.
