    Help with my Calibration with Avia, sharpness controll and my 47" Panny HDTV

    Bravo Guy, Heed Mr Kuo' warnings Jon_H, as I should have warned thee. All sorts of bad things can come from altering parameters in the service menu when one gets sloppy and doesn't understand what they are altering. John

    Help with my Calibration with Avia, sharpness controll and my 47" Panny HDTV

    Geometry problem with Panasonic 47WX49?

    Jason, Their are 4 modes to view 4:3 material. I use the zoom mode with the v-position set to -8, that way you don't lose the top of the screen, but you do lose the bottom more which is no big deal to me.

    My Sears price matching adventure! (long)

    You are correct hank, but who am I to question her marketing techniques :) John, it took me about 5 minutes to physically detach the plugs.. take a look here.. Link Removed and then click on the known tweaks section. The panny does a very respectable 2:3 pulldown. [Edited last by John_Sn on...
