I bought one of these for xmas at MicroCenter in Dallas for $600 after rebates. I've really enjoyed it so far, but some little things are bothering me, hence I just subscribed and started searching here.
Overall the picture is great (for me not being too much of a connesseur of tvs). And of course you can't beat the value for $600.
But I've noticed that the four corners of the viewable screen are lighter than the rest of the screen...i.e. a quarter circle about an inch in radius, diminishing towards the middle of the screen.
Also the top 2 inches going across seem lighter as well, again fading towards the middle of the screen.
These effects are noticeable when viewing a dark image or when you have the columns on the sides due to standard programming. They really aren't noticeable when viewing a lighter image.
So I'm researching what this effect might be and whether I should look into returning my tv. Any info from anyone is appreciated.

This only seems to be happening on a couple of channels. Can anyone tell me what causes this? Can I make them go away? Everything else looks pretty good, and content from the new DVD player looks great. |
