blank screen before the film starts!

To post a picture go to Options Tab, click on Add/Update and browse for the picture in your PC. Don't forget to click Save on the popup window.

Do I take it you've fiddled with all the picture controls and still can't get a picture to your satisfaction?

i have had a go at changing settings and will continue to try and make it better. If no change its going back! will also try and take a picture that shows it up later tonight. I've also looked on the internet and it seems that the term is called 'clouding'. something that can be common with lcd tv's. however not something you expect from a t.v that cost 6K!

It was very common on Sony TV's of the last year or so - although, if I remember correctly they denied it was ever a problem although many folk returned there TV's to their dealers becuase of it. There was a lengthy thread about it on the Whathifi forum (W4500 sets I seem to recall).

Start by setting contrast, brightness and colour midway and then reduce the contrast until you think the black is acceptable and then adjust the brightness/colour and see what you can achieve.

(This is not from experience btw, it just seems a logical starting point)

thanks for reply. Will have ago and post my results.. thanks again.

You can tell when the screen is on but I am quite impressed with the blacks. There is also some edge bleed which I believe is due to the edge lighting system but I have not found this distracting.

Well i CERTAINLY hope that this is a fault, and is not the way the screen looks when blank. Look at those patches of light! > That's woeful

Mine does not appear like that though I suppose digital cameras may make things look different - I'll have a go sometime myself!
