Fuzzy Black Spots

Sometimes when watching stuff on my 52" Plasma from my computer I get these barely noticeable black fuzzy spots.

Is this the hdmi cable that sucks or what could it be?


Thanks

no it just shows up on the big plasma tv....the lcd monitor is fine

and I haven't noticed it when playing my ps3 or xbox

could it be the cable then

thanks!

now ive noticed it showing up in my xbox which I have connected with a composite cable

what could it be then??

I'm the IT manager for a company that sells TV's and so on. Don't worry it's not your PC. The black fuzzy spots are natural. It's usually caused by the plasma trying to compensate for black areas that it can't quite reach.
Where you will notice it most is when an image switches from very bright scenes to total darkness. The plasma just can't keep up sometimes. But it won't do any harm.
Although If you see these black fuzzy spots over light areas then there could be a problem with the set itself.

I notice it the most with black areas or dark scenes

so i'm good then?

Yep you'll be fine pal

If it's an el cheapo cable, then it could possibly be.

As a followup, I read a consumer reports test of HDMI cables that showed the cheapest and most expensive cables had virtually indistinguishable performance.

Profit margins though, differed greatly. Some sales they make more on the cable than the TV ...
