Thanks! How do you like your set?

Hey gang, I've searched high and low for the answer to this question, but can't find the answer anywhere, even though I KNOW its been discussed on several occasions. So I apologize for bringing this up again. But I'm very interested in the JVC HD-61FN97 (61" ). My only concern is that I've...

I'm glad I checked this thread out... I bookmarked the Samsung 1080p set so I don't forget about it when I replace my tv in 6 months. :) BTW... that samsung is TRUE 1080p right?

Hrmm... I've tried that, and still have the problem... any other ideas?

Yep, Cameron is most likely correct... That Blue screen is probably VCR-Generated and all you have to do is go into the VCR's menu and switch it to Cable instead of 'air'.

Let me start off by saying that I use a Panny PT53wx53. Whenever I use an HD source, be it HD Cable or XBox360... I get a transparent vertical line that is either stationary (cable) or moves from left to right (xbox). I finally called Xbox tech support today, and they seem to think it's...

cool... let us know what happens, especially with that vertical line. :)

Jordan, HTF user "JohnnyG"... he has a website that sells the panny 53" convergence grids, which are a HUGE help when doing the service mode convergence adjustments. Here's the direct link: Link Removed I still need to order myself one, and will be very soon.

I have the same problem on my Panny 53wx53... but not on any DVD source... just the HDTV (hooked to "component 2".) I just assumed it was the cable provider (Cox) since it wasn't a problem on any other inputs. I guess I'll have to get my lazy ass to switch some cables around and try the dvd...

It could be the set's convergence... try going into the service menu and touching it up. www.panny.tv has good info on getting to the service menu and what to do.

Whoops... I just posted a new thread on this... my bad. Hey Johny... I'm gonna drop you an email too, if you don't mind. I'm going nuts looking for the 53" grid myself. :) ADDED: JG, you're a life-saver. Thank You!

Service Menu... Go into the regular menu... make sure the tv is set to "Cable". Set the sleep timer to 30. Exit the menu. Go to ch. 124. Make sure volume is turned down all the way. Walk up to the tv, and hit the 'vol down' button on the set. That'll bring up "CHK" in red letters on the...

Congrats man. I'm pretty happy with mine as well. I'd like the convergence to be a little tighter, but other then that, it kicks ass.

Thanks... how about the convergence, doing it as to alieve the problem of lining up a color such as red in the middle of the screen, and then being able to move about the screen and tweak it in seperate areas, so all points are 'lined up'?

I tried following the "brett's panny tv" sites instructions... but it only got me so far. For instance, when fixing the verticle positioning, I put it on say "03", but as soon as I exit, it goes up to "04". Is there a way to save it before exiting to the main menu? Also, I set the overscan at...
