Hi guys,
I have an engineer to come and look at my 9607 sometime tomorrow (Sat 29th July), to investigate my "dirty screen".
The problem I am having is that there seem to be several dark patches on the screen and as images pan across the screen the images get darker, lighter, darker etc as they pass through the various parts of the screen.
I found that if I had a completely black screen, which I achieved my stopping my dvd player and switching to AV1 channel, so that no signal was going to the tv, and then adjusted my brightness level all the way up and then all the way down, I could see these dark patches quite clearly, if you get what I mean. The patches seemed to kind of disappear as the brightness went up, but then the picture was WAY to bright.
Something else that may be relevant to the problem was that I noticed that when I changed picture ratio modes (eg 4:3, 16:9, 14:9 etc) the patches got bigger, smaller, changed position on the screen, etc kind of like the patches were an image on the screen. Hope I'm making sense.
Perhaps you could try the same little experiment for me and post the results here so that I have some more information for the engineer. It may just be that I have a dodgy set, in which case I can get it swapped out for a new one.
I realise it's a bit short notice but I really could do with a little "ammo" for tomorrow.
Is a dirty screen one of the down sides of having a Panny tubes inside the TV? Perhaps the Cybertubes would solve this problem! Are the cybertubes ever going to make it into the 9607?
Thanks for all your help,
Matthew
