HDMI input dead on TV -- will replacing it change my grayscale? (1 Viewer)

[Dave H]

Just curious --- my HDMI input is no longer working. If they replace it, will this affect my grayscale and covergence calibration?

it probably shouldn't, unless they do things with the settings. It's a digital connection, so there aren't issues of precision differences between input circuitry as there would be with analog inputs being changed. Just make sure they don't mess with any settings or anything.

Theory says no ... but the wandering hands of the repairman may have something else to say.

They may take it upon themselves to fix your grayscale but good.

Well, guess what? Now it works.

I simply switched the HMDI cable around to the opposite end and now it works!

Is there a good reason for this? I didn't think it mattered which end of the cord you use. Weird.

Oh, if I have to ever have someone about it, I will make it very clear to the tech!
