Hey all. I've been trying to follow all of the great posts here but it seems everyone at the moment is more advanced than me! lol
I have a new 34xbr960 that I just got from Best Buy on an exchange from a 30XS955 with a dead blue spot on the screen. Low and behold! My new TV has a problem too. This time with the horizonal lines.
On the left side of the screen the top curves down a tad and the bottom curves up. Does not seem to be a problem on the right side. You can really see this in the memory stick screen and when watching movies that have bars.
I went through Ken's great posts and tried some changes but it's all too much for me at the moment. I just can't figure out what to do. I assume it's something to do with the H Trapezoid but the tweaks don't seem to help. In the same respect, I've been a knock around guy with TV's to this point. Before my $2k 960, I had a 27 inch Phillips! How's that for a change?
I looked on Sony's website and it found a service center 39 miles from me. Is this something I should call them about? Will they do any tweaking for me in relation to color or are they hard asses with everything? If they use magnets does that hurt the TV in any way? Lessen lifespan?
How much change can a video expert make in my screen? Is it worth the $200 a lot of you quote?
What should I do in this case? Thanks so much for all the help guys. This is a GREAT community!
(edit: I also notice a blue spot on the left side too. Very light blue is this maybe due to the screen being mis aligned?)
