Anyone interested in getting a copy, just PM me, and I'll give you the IP address and details....

Cheers!!!!

Any possibility I could have that ftp address for the 42pw23p; just bought one and am eager to fiddle with it!

Don't. If it ain't broke....

I know of at least three people who have messed this RP up by fiddling with the service codes.

Simon.. I've PM'd you the details....

and as Nathan says... write down all settings... and don't mess with any that aren't mentioned, there are one or two that will screw up the TV bigstyle...

Simon, what is wrong with your set? Unless you know what's wrong, and what setting will fix it I would leave service menu alone.

Unless you're converging the tubes. In which case read and re-read this very carefully...

I need to drop the horizontal screen position by a couple of notches and will tweak the convergence. I have fiddled with TV's before and had no problems, my last was a Hitachi 28" which had TERRIBLE geometry; search for C28WF530N and you will find some amateurs commenting on good geometry! This set looks fairly good; bit dodgy down the right hand side but not overly distracting. What do you lot think?

Why not use the User level horizontol & vertical positioning?

This site has all the info you need on convergence (and lots of other tweaks)

You can only alter the horizontal positioning (By which I mean moving it up and down) with the "cinema" and "subtitle" screen modes and not with 16:9 + 4:3 et al.
