Before I do anything I want to make sure it has been done before with no problems. I'm not rich and I've just spent a lot of money for a TV that I don't want to "experiment" with.

Now here is the problem that 4.31.34 has created:

When I play a video file or a picture using the Smart Share All Media, and it doesn't matter if I select All, Photos, or Video, I get a screen full of yellow static looking lines. Sorta like the "snow" you would get on the tuner if there were no antenna or a empty channel. On a video it lasts only for a second. With a picture it will stay on screen until you do something with the picture like rotate it or change pictures.

Is there a way to do a full factory reset? Like a paperclip hole reset button someplace? Or a key press combo? I'm not worried about having to setup the TV again. I know with a lot of devices I have, like a WDTV Live Hub, if you factory reset the unit after a update it seems to get rid of the some of the problems.

Here is a screen shot! (A picture is worth a thousand words)

It wouldn't be "rolling the dice" on another unit in the box; on the other hand, I would have to inspect closely to ensure no physical damage to the case or screen.

Assuming it comes with full warranty, what difference would it make if it has a thousand hours on it or so?

I physically did adjustments on the panel itself. if you are extremely patient and careful i would say it would not void warranty. I know lot of people will hammer me regarding this (like people did here to a guy who was trying to roller the screen with a paint roller). But again i was able to fix 4 sets with no any issue. Let me know if you wanna try that.

Let me tell you my problem. I bought the LG LM7600 but I didn't know that was blocked the time machine option. I already checked information about how fix this but I am not sure is it possible with this model. I would like to try with a universal remote control to access to the EZ adjust but I don't know which one works fine with this tv. Would be great if you can suggest me one from radioshack to buy it and then return it if doesn't work. Thanks a lot for being there!

47LM7600
55LM7600

These HDTVs got a great score on my website for input lag, rated at 34ms and 35ms respectively under the "Game" picture setting. This is using Leo Bodnar's Lag Tester. I just wanted to check with you guys to see how your experience is with gaming on this HDTV. Thank you!

Avsrosh,

If you asking me for an image, I posted an image on the previous page (95), post #2839 of this thread. I probably shouldn't post it twice.

How were you able to "fix" yours? Settings? Or some other adjustment to the physical panel itself?

Maybe they'll fix it and update us again with a working FW.

I'm not understanding you when you say, "to see which technique is better for yours". Is there more than one technique that you use to adjust the bezel? Or a combination of bezel adjustment and picture settings?

My experience over the years has been that transferring settings from someone else's review or calibration doesn't usually work well, however, I tried the settings listed for the LM7600 and the colors look wonderful. I've had a number of ISF calibrations performed on my TVs over the years and am familiar with what a professionally calibrated picture is supposed to look like. I'm especially familiar with the Demonstration scenes on the Digital Video Essentials HD Basics Blu-ray disc. After using the FlatpanelsHD settings the colors look very natural, the way I remember them looking on my calibrated sets. The only changes I made were to bump up the backlight to 50, turn the sharpness down to 20 and turn LED Local Dimming to Low. Of course I'm going from memory and according to my preferences. I don't have equipment to measure the settings. I really like what I see, though!

But later figured it out.

I'm scared to start tweaking and tinkering with the settings because everything is working great with its integration with my home network. It sees everything without issues.

My only gripes come with the remote...

1) As soon as the remote moves the arrow appears on the screen and gets in the way of the picture. Who doesn't accidentally drop, move, or toss the remote around while they're watching tv. Very annoying. I looked but didn't see a way to complete turn off the arrow/pointer. I only saw calibration and speed settings.

2) In order to switch inputs you have to go to a menu, and then select the input. This is the 1st TV I have ever seen, that didnt have an input switch button physically on the remote.
