Echo - Stuttering and dark picture

[kmp14]

Wow, just set up my ceton and I am very disappointed. The picture is dark, soft, and very stutter-y. The review just posted on Missing Remote "echoes" these concerns. I love everything Ceton does, but this is either a big miss, or released way before it was ready. I hope firmawares can improve things, but I am pretty sure all 3 I ordered are gonna be returned.

Seems no one is really talking about these issues?

I'm not saying this will be a magic bullet, but for the bluriness, try installing the echo set up desktop client and changing to 1080 P. default mode is 720.

Thanks, already did that, same bad picture.

I'm right there with you on the jittery/stuttering video playback, of live and recorded TV. I haven't noticed anything in the way of a darker picture on my setup. I also downloaded the mentioned setup application and tried every available video setting to no avail. I don't WANT to return them, but I'm sure as heck not paying for two $180 fancy paperweights.

Man, I just don't see the slow, stuttering video a lot of people are reporting. My video is smooth, even text that scrolls across the screen on sports center. I did notice some stuttering after they'd been playing for several hours but a quick reboot fixed it.

EDIT: I'll bet this has to do with the fact both mine are connected to 720p sets. When my third one arrives this week it will be connected to a 1080p set. Maybe I'll see the issue then.
