A slight bleeding of colors {especially red }, on DVD's, however its limited to only a few scences on a few movies and really is way overblown IMO. I say relax , sit back and enjoy your DVD player.
The "chroma bug" is an MPEG decoder error. Once you know what to look for, it is very easy to spot.

If you don't know exactly what it is, my advice is: DO NOT GO LOOKING FOR IT! If you learn to spot it you will become sensitized to it and you will see it all the time. There are very, very few DVD players on the market that don't exhibit the chroma bug to some degree, so if you go looking for it you will do nothing but create problems for yourself. Don't ask how I know :-(

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
The above advice is correct. Ignorance is bliss! I have a friend who is a video engineer and he told me about NTSC (Never The Same Color) red and what to look for. From that point on, I was unhappy with my monitor until it died last year. Now he wants to show me why laser discs are superior to DVDs and how to spot the artifacts on DVDs caused by data compression. No way I'm gonna let him educate me on this subject.
