Does anyone else get trolled into a panic mode by some DVDs, thinking their lovely new/expensive TV is failing?
I got my E6V back in July and after a few weeks i noticed a faint burn-in on the screen - right in the centre and, of course, after spotting it i couldn't NOT see it. ended up w/ a replacement, and then spent a good few films looking for faults rather than enjoying them.
Fast forward to putting on "Buried" - and on my TV,it was effing awful. the dark was just total noise and showed horrendous banding, so of course that set me off again, swapping discs like a loon and trying to see if something was actually there, or it was the disc. it was the disc.
Fast forward to "In the line of fire", and there's a dark smudge in some nice blue sky - panic, then realised it's not a burn-in/fault, just old film/lens quality.
Fast forward again to this week, "The eye". great for 60 of the 90 mins, then in a dark scene i notice a bright spot right at the very bottom right corner of the screen - a group of 8 or 9 pixels glowing white. watched for a few more mins, and the right side of the screen was showing vertical aberrations; slightly off colour and a white line down the very edge etc. Panic mode, swapped for another disc, no more edge faults or glowy pixels. never seen that kinda thing before, where the pixels were right at the screen edge, way below the letterbox area of the film itself, but there you go - troll disc again.
Love this TV to bits, but damn i can do w/out the stress! :-D
