i feel ur pain. i just had mine installed last week and i have the same concern also. in my opinion the picture really sucks on this unit. i had a 5yr old kenwood that had an excellent, clear picture. i thought by upgrading to a higher end unit, the quality would be the same if not better. i also have a concern with the picture in that most of this light colored parts on movies have a glowing type ring in them. ive tried to adjust the picture settings but have had no luck.
