View Full Version : Dirty Screen look?

so I first started this over at AVS but since this place people see more of these TV's than people who own them seeing as they calibrate them - so here it is


first off I have tried to capture a picture of this but I have failed - it just wont come up on the picture or video no matter what I set the hrz and fps on the camera and TV

I notice that the screen is "dirty" or something - when I have a bright picture on screen and the camera pans up and down (not side to side, that looks fine) I see what looks like dirty spots on or in the screen it self - these are not on the outside since I have checked by cleaning it and also I just know, but it must be behind the screen or something like that

it looks like dirty sections or something like that - you know how if you clean your windows in the car and it isnt fully clean, you can see streaks in there and little spots that are "different" from the rest of the glass - its sorta like that - sorta like every single camera that was used to shoot everything I see on my TV has a dirty lens, but that makes no sense - it looks like that though

a sure way to see it is to take a game from the 360 or PS3 and look at the sky then pan up and down - or get those break-in images and use the all white one - then move your whole body up and down not just your head (dont nod your head, the eye line has to change to see this)

I can see this almost all the time now that I have noticed it and see it when ever the picture on screen goes up and down

really it is when there is any scrolling picture from the top to the bottom of the screen

I cant stand this, I had someone come out and look at it as if it were defective and I was going to get it repaired or replaced and they said they never saw that before but didnt think that it was defective or anything like that - they were an authorized Pioneer repair center so they know what to look for



it has gotten so bad tha I am really thinking about getting rid of this TV and going with a LED LCD maybe that new sharp with RGB LED's (really expensive though) - so what say you guys

This seems to be getting better over time. (700 hours).

Same with me.

I've had my 151 since October and this phenomena has gotten
better over time and its almost non-existent now.
