Certain programmes on digital sources display a loss of detail.
- Less detail than usual or artifacts (small blocks, dots or pixelation) may appear on the screen, due to the digital compression of the source content used by certain digital broadcasts and DVDs. The degree of visible artifacts depends on the clarity and resolution of the TV.
