I just bought a Panasonic PT-53WX42 and I have a few issues with it. Keep in mind that I am pretty much a newbie. I have purchased the AVIA disk, but I haven't used it yet (still in the mail). I have done the normal 9-point convergence. I am using a Sony DVD (interlaced, not progressive)
1) It is extremely dark. I have played around with the convergence and brightness, but nothing seems to work. The whites look very white, but the shadows are almost completely black. This seems to happen for every source (DVD, Cable, X-box).
2) the viewing angles are extremely narrow. Unless I'm sitting directly in front of the TV (10 feet back), the screen looks awful. There are dark lines on either side (depending on which side of the TV that I am sitting on.Is this normal?
To add to this, the model that I bought was an "open box" at Circuit City. Do you have any advice for me? Should I try and fix it or just return it? Will Avia help with the darkness issue? What about the viewing angles?
Thanks in advance.
