Only 10 days until my Patriots win their next Super Bowl and last night my November build 60 inch GW111 exhibited a problem I haven't read about on this board. Up until now I assumed I was one of the luckiest ones, my set didn't buzz (still doesn't), turned on religiously after three blinks of the green light (still does) and had a beautiful picture with minor OOB tweaking (TY DLiquid and and others).
Well, last night after a few hours of operation the screen went almost totally white. It was like all contrast was gone with skin tones as bright white, greens as bright yellow, reds as light purple, and blacks almost nonexistant. The picture also lacked sharpness and was extremely grainy even on HD. At first, turning the set on and restarting a few minutes later made the picture go back to normal. Eventually the problem would come back. On two occassions the picture did come back to normal without cycling the set on and off.
This morning, of course, the picture came on fine and has yet to exhibit the same problem. I can hear the tech now, "can't fix what I can't see...blah, blah, blah."
Two questions: Has anyone else had this problem and have it repaired to your satisfaction? Also, has anyone who purchased at Best Buy been able to return after 60 days or so without repairing the set?
Any help is truley appreciated!
