I'm hoping someone might have some insight into some problems that I am experiencing with my new Samsung 4252 PDP.
When trying to calibrate the brightness / contrast, it will never "work". I have tried two tests, one on the VE DVD (pre DVE copy), and the THX tests on Finding Nemo. On the THX test, if I set the brightness correct, the contrast tests are shot, and vice versa. On the DV tests, I can't get the brightness to work at all. The first test (gradiation on the right hand side, two bars in the center) sets OK, but then the second test (large white bar on the RHS) it is far too dark.
I have also noticed that when the OSD dissapears, the screen gets brighter in the tests.
I'm wondering if this is typical with Plasmas (I wouldn't think so), just this model (I've got my DVD player at work with the same cable I use at home, and will be stopping by a store later on to see if it is my copy), or could it have something to do with the power source? Ie, there is not enough power to the PDP for the brighter scenes?
