Hello Everyone,
Just had my replacement TV set up, it has the same problem as my previous one- was wondering if anyone has had this issue- I thought it was panel specific but since I got two in a row I'm now curious. It is probably best described by looking at the pictures below, but where ever there is white text on a colored background, I get dark lines that extend horizontally, at first I only noticed it on moving pictures but now its pretty obvious on moving pictures if you know what you are looking for. It happens on any source including Vierra content (pull up a trailer on Youtube, the Bourne Legacy Trailer 2 is a good example, when the green "PG-13" screen shows up). It seemed to get worse on my first panel, but this new one (whole new set) has it pretty obviously right out of the box.
The repairman saw it before he left and is going to contact Panasonic and see what they say, but just wondering if anyone else has this issue or would mind checking it out, I'd appreciate it.
My previous set also had some pretty bad image retention, from things like Pandora on Vierra- I would not watch it for a couple of days and it would still be easily visible on other content. My first panel also had three bright spots on it, not stuck pixels, they were probably 4 inches in diameter, those are resolved so with the new set- well we will see about the IR.
Thanks for your help,
Elliot
