I seem to notice smearing problems when it comes to text. I haven't compared this to my LX-900 revision 1995, LX-h670 revision 1995, or my Elite CLD-53 1994 laserdisc players. It might just be normal for some smearing or ghosting on letters. Also these are NOT the best examples so I don't know if you can see what I'm talking about. It's really noticeable on my 4k 32 inch curved 60hz dell monitor. I see letters ghosting and trailing behind letters. I even think I notice in some movies ghosting effects on objects or smearing whichever terminology you want to use.

Isn't the smearing normal?
I have also seen this when playing dvd's.
Must be a master transfer issue?

Turn your brightness and contrast down.
Yes this is an LD issue, you will have it on your 900 and other players too.
This 3080 should have less when your TV is calibrated properly but its normal, welcome to LD.

Well said, Philips came up with the concept around the 1960's. Enjoy what you have and stop looking for defects.
