I have bought the PT-53WX53 and I cannot advise someone to buy this TV. I had to exchange the first one 10 days after I bought it because the picture turned red. I did some reading and found out the older models had problems with a "Evil Pop" which I will not get into. Don't get me wrong, the...
Well I had this PT-53WX53 for 2 months after exchanging the first one and it has happened again. This time everything has turned blue. Is this set a P.O.S. or am I having very bad luck? Same tech. as before is coming to my house Monday. How many other's are having this problem? Is there a recall...
ERRR...just posted a long reply and got rejected because I had a link in my post and have not posted 15 times yet. :frowning: Anyway, I just bought a PT-53WX53 about 10 Days ago. It sounds like we have the same TV. It sounds like I had the same problem as you are having. I just exchanged my...
UPDATE: Last night the Tech. stopped by the house and checked out my problem. After looking at the set he told me what everyone here said. TAKE IT BACK AND EXCHANGE IT. Well I guess mule headed Missouri boy like me needs to be slapped in the face before he listen's to people. So today I...
Thanks Man-Fai for your reply. I am about 100% sure it is the "Evil Pop" now and the repair tech. will be here Monday. I would do the fix myself but the "Glue" issue sounds like the end to my warranty. Seeing I payed $300 for it I might as well use it. I plan on talking to the tech. about...
Ok...I get home today and guess what. It is blue!!! Now everything is blue. The greys are blue the blacks are blue...everything. This is very strange. I wonder if when i get home after work wednesday if it will all be green?
I have the Sammy HD-DVD and use a DVI for the connection. The picture is great! (For the 4 days my PT-53WX53 looked good) I never hooked the component connections for comparison though. From what I understand the DVI is the only way to get 1080i out of my unit. I figure with no D to A and A to D...
Well the Tech. just called me back and will be coming to my house Monday. I guess I will go from there. I take it from the lack of responses that no one else has experienced this problem. Unless I am searching the wrong info I cannot find any old posts about this. My DVE and The Fifth Element...
I just called the service people and I am in the process of getting them out to my house. Looks like it is going to be a few days though. Anyone have an idea for me to try? I really wonder if I should take the set back seeing I have run into trouble 4 days into ownership...Has anyone experienced...
Well I checked the connections. Both S-video and DVI inputs are tight. Still have the same problem. Black has a redish hue to it and greys look pink. Here is my user settings I have now to try and lower the redish look: Color- 6 Tint- 31 Brightness- 9 Picture- 24 Sharpness- 0 Color Temp-...
Well great...now i am reading on Panny.tv about the "Evil POP". How can I tell if this is what happened? There is just to much red and it cannot be adjusted down. I have played with the user settings for about 3 hours tonight and still the same problem. Any idea's? Should i just take it back and...
I just bought a Panny PT-53WX53 last thursday. It has been looking great until today when i got home. Now black looks red and dark objects get a red halo around them. I have checked convergence and the setting. I have the settings like recomended on panny.tv site. Another thing is when I watch a...
One more question. On the PT-53WX53 I get no video, black screen, when my Sammy HD931 is in 720p mode. I thought the WX53 would take a 720p input. Anyone have the same setup and get it to work?
Well I made the leap into HDTV last night. The biggest leap I made in this process was converting from a “tube only guy” to a RPTV. When I was a kid, my parents had a 54” Zenith RPTV for many years. As a kid I was in awe with how big the picture was and gave not a worry to PQ. As I got older I...
Hello all,
This is my first post and hope I am posting in the correct location. First off I am new to the Home Theater scene. I have decided that I want to start out with one of the HTB systems due to the fact I would hate to spend $3,000 plus and feel I wasted my money. I am looking at the...
