Weird horizontal shadow Panny TC42C2

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Lets see how can I explain this. Ive had this Panasonic TC42C2 for some time now. I calibrated it myself, however the only thing I notice is that when the tv is displaying bright colors like white or gray I get an adjacent horizontal shadow all the way to the edges of the screen. For example if Im outputting my mac mini and Ive a window open I get those lines on the top and botton of the window to the horizontal sides of the screen. Could this be a problem with the sharpness setting displaying artifacts? I attached some pictures if you look closely you can see how the white is different on the side of the windows and the rest is normal. Tried to enhance the colors a bit on photoshop to make it a bit clearer

This can either be an issue from the video card on your computer or (if I recall correctly) the video board on the panel. You can try tweaking the settings like sharpness etc.. to see if they reduce it, but if it's under warranty and present from other sources besides just the pc, you might want to get it serviced.

this also happens with my xbox like when the logo is going up, but in gaming is not a problem since everything moves a lot

As I said, you can tweak the settings to see if you can get rid of it by lowering sharpness and/or contrast, but I would probably get a service call if it's still under warranty.

Does it happen on a screen that is all 1 solid color?
From those photos it looks like line bleed to me, which is common.

I thought it was just line bleed too looking at the photos which if true would be normal for many plasmas
