I have recently purchased a Philips 52PFL7403D/27. The 52" 120hz 1080p lcd tv. From the first moment, in HD Cable broadcasts, the left 1" of the screen looks like it is offset upwards 1/8th of an inch vertically.
It is as if you took a paper photograph, cut off 1" of the left side, then taped it back together, except the 1" strip was offset, upwards, by 1/8th of an inch.
I switched around the hdmi cables and changed the input plugs, but the picture seems to follow what is broadcast from HD cable channels.
I know, this sounds like a cable company problem, but here's the thing - I upgraded from a Sharp 45" 1080i and there was no problem.
Also, I don't know if this is related, but there is also a small adjustment needed horizontally and vertically when I switch from dvd movies to tv, be it sdtv or hdtv. ie: if I center a dvd picture, there will be a small green line, (about 1/8"), on the right of the screen when I switch to cable tv mode. Then I move the screen horizontally to the right and its centered again. Reverse for switching to dvds.
Thanks for reading, and thanks if you have any ideas.
