New RPTV issues

After being able to sell my existing 32" Wega, I got a Samsung HCN4226W (42" wide screen HDTV Monitor). I got a very good deal it CC last night for $1175 plus free home delivery. The set was delivered pretty late last night; I only had a chance to use it for an hour after setting it up. The PIC quality is pretty good based upon the stock setting.
I did noticed one issue with the set. On the scenes that have dull dark backgrounds a 4" vertical band in very dim Red color is visible. The position of the band changes whenever I cycle through inputs. On the S-video feed the band is there but is of white color and it is very less noticeable than the band with DVD input. Is this a calibration issue or there is something wrong with the set and I should return this set?.
Right now I am using a non-progressive scan DVD player via component cable and Dish network feed via S-Video cable. I will do the proper setup today with either THX calibration tool or my HT Setup disk and will see if the problem goes away or not.
thanks

Sounds broke to me.

I got it replaced yesterday. The new unit doesnt have this issue.
Currently I am using a non progressive scan DVD player with it. The TV is internally doing the scaling to 1080i. How much of a difference will be there if I use progressive scan DVD player?
I calibrated the set using my HT setup disk and PIC quality is great with DVD and pretty nice with dish feed. I will get digital cable with HDTV next month when I move to new place.-izafar
