Hi all,
Thanks to the advise on this bbs, I recently acquired a PD 42" panny from Visual Apex (thanks Paul!). I love the display so far, but I'm having one issue that is bothering me...
I have an interlaced sony dvd player (2 years old - 560d I think) that when connected by component cables, creates a strange effect on the panel. On dark scenes (and sometimes lighter ones) I get a strange "creeping" black bar at the top of the screen...it's not always there, but it slowly creeps up and down the top 5% of the display....this happens on pretty much any dvd (tried 6 or so) and does not happen with my HD cable (480p/720p/1080i).
I initially thought it was my dvd player, so I replaced it with a panny rp82 (a good purchase no matter what - great picture), and in progressive output mode, the problem is gone. However, if I put the rp82 in interlaced mode, the same effect happens.
Has anyone seen this before (quick fix?) or should I contact panasonic about it. It's actually kind of a minor issue, as I now have no 480i sources that I use, but if it's a flaw in display (probably video card) I should probably have it fixed, right?
Cheers,
Rich
