Over the past few days I have noticed small green dots or specks or snow in my picture.
It only shows up when the screen is almost all black or dark, never wile a movie or game is being played. Anyone know what this is? Thanks

As Craig Rounds says on here, A picture is worth a 1000 words Wink

Any way to snap a pic of it? I know its hard with a dark scene but if you use the night mode and use a tripod it should allow a longer shutter speed to capture it.

Are they fixed, i.e. not moving, not changing? Or do they shimmer or fade in & out? Do you only see them on a dark screen because otherwise the brighter image swamps them out?

Sorry cant find the camera. Yes they only appear on a dark screen. they come in and out. they look a bit like green snow. I dont see it when a image is showing. I wonder if it could be my Hdfury 1 or a bad hdmi cable?

How long is your HDMI cable to the PJ? And do you have a power supply for the HD fury?

Yeah, this is probably an HDMI signal integrity issue. If you already have a power supply with your HDF, upgrade the HDMI cable to a heavier gauge and also try a silver plated copper HDMI cable. This one is really good and also comes in 35' and 50' lengths.

I dont have the power supply, I was told i did not need it with the first Hdfury. Ill have to order a power supply and try a new hdmi cable. Hopefully that is all it is.
