AVS HD 709 - Pink

The pink is a known issue with the display. The prior A2000 model does not have the issue and will display white and black correctly without the pink. For some reason the display doesn't turn pink on the "Single Black Pixels" pattern in the Resolution section, but all other black and white single-pixel patterns do with the display. The reason I say it's the display and not the disk is that you can use a computer or the w6rz patterns and you'll get the exact same result. I have my computer pixel-mapped to the TV and http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...hlight=pattern also doesn't display with alternating single pixel colors like shown in the attached closeup. I haven't seen any good explination why the old TV didn't have the issue and the newer model turns pink.

Pixel misalignment? Add to it ... chromatic issues from the lens.

There's a whole thread that talks about the some of the anomalies this TV includes http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...ighlight=a3000 I knew about the pink issue before I knew about any non-typical service menu changes, so I think it's safe to say the service menu probably isn't where that generally comes from. For some reason or other, the pink item is just how these TVs shipped. Of course I use my TV for watching movies and using a computer, and in those situations I've never seen any problems related to how pink shows up on some test patterns.


I tried to include single-pixel red and blue patterns on Blu-ray, but they didn't encode well so they'll be removed from the next version. To see the loss of 1:1 on red and blue the easiest thing to do is to pixel map a computer or similar device to the TV. If you use a computer to display red and blue single-line pixel-mapped images it clearly shows how red and blue are altered for the perfect convergence item. Again in actual use though, I'm glad my red and blue are not pixel-mapped because now I don't have convergence offsets that I notice when using my computer.

If you adjust the 144 point convergence controls, green is still pixel-mapped and red and blue are pixel-mapped in the unadjusted areas. If you scale the image then green will lose pixel-mapping. My point was just that losing the ability to see single lines on red and blue test patterns in some areas of the screen seems fine to me because it corrects convergence offsets. Maybe someone else will consider it fine to scale the entire image to reduce overscan. Personally I don't see the point of scaling a 1920x1080 image on a 1080p TV to reduce overscan.
