Blu-ray is Blurray, and gives an afterimage effect?

[Sean]

I have my super powerful PC connected to my 42" Dynex TV, which supports up to 1080i resolution. Blu ray should play back fine using PowerDVD, but doesn't. I am only testing the dark knight, which might be like protected, but otherwise I have no idea. There is just a slight afterimage when someone moves their face for example, can't fix help.

It could be something as simple as your video card being too weak to support the higher resolution on a 42"....but here are other factors to consider first :

Do you have the same issue when playing a blu-ray movie on your PC monitor ?
Do you have the same issue when playing a DVD movie from your PC to the 42" ?
What is your video card ?
What type of cable are you using ?

Are both the TV and video card HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compliant (DVI, HDMI connections) for digital output ?

Please add these details & I will try to help you determine the cause.
