I have these feint scallops of light on the top edge of my screen. They are most noticeable in the middle but I can make them out almost all the way along the top edge, especially when letterbox appears. Any ideas what this is and how to fix it?
Thanks all.

Shift the picture with the "Shift" adjustment until the problem goes away, then re-center the picture with the "Center" adjustment. That should fix it!

Hello

If the scallops problem worsens, a remedy based on olive oil and garlic salt may be indicated!

That's how Tim diagnoses all sets that aren't MArquees..:)

It could be the AKB lines...

It could be the AKB lines...I bet you're right Curt! I was thinking overscan, but he said top of the screen.

I still don't understand why this is a problem on some/most G70s. They're present on mine, but I rarely see them other than when I hit the mute button.
