I bought a Philips 28PW9308 about 3 weeks ago and on the whole I have been very pleased with it. I have also been able to adjust some of the settings thanks to a few of you posting to this forum.
One of the picture adjustments I have made has been via the service menu using a THX test on Star Wars II as the source. If you are familiar with these, they just provide a set of tests to ensure your video output is set correctly. Two of these tests show a grid matrix on the screen so you can make sure everything is squared up properly. There is one for 4:3 and another for 16:9.
Anyway, the point I am getting too, is that having gone through and set and saved everything correctly, I have since noticed that the corners of the projected picture are slightly pulled in at the top and bottom at both ends.
I say "since" because I didn't notice this before, but it could well have been there. By saying the picture is slightly pulled in at the top and bottom at both ends, I don't mean as you get when the horizontal and vertical THX grid matrix is not squared correctly. I ensured this was OK using the East/West set of adjustments in the service menu. It is not that the horizontals and verticals are not straight, but that the edge of the projected image is slightly pulled on top and bottom on both sides.
Sorry to have been so long-winded in my explanation (I hope you are still with me ), but it is this last thing that I need to adjust. Does anyone know how?
Thanks in advance...
