Just got a new Sony 46" S5100 to replace my room's CRT....everything is great except for 1 problem..
The dark scenes all look unusually blurry and grainy, and there seems to be alot of "artifact" thingy on the image.
(While the bright scenes on the same video look very nice and clear)

I've tried a few different video files with the same result. (They are mostly downloaded movies in .avi, typically 350MB for a 45 minutes show)

Is this something to do with the file or the quality of the TV?
(I know the sony S series is the lowest model... will I see lesser of this problem if I go with a higher model like V or Z series?)

Is it possible it has something to do with the connection as well? (I play the video via a laptop connected to the TV with a VGA cable)
