I found this: "We recommend using the Just Scan mode with 1080i and 1080p material, which assures zero overscan and proper 1:1 pixel matching for this 1080p display." http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/lg-47lh90/4505-6482_7-33485570.html#reviewPage1 Just Scan is what I've always used which has the ghosting problem. I think I'm back to square one. - Grant
