Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions TV has odd beige coloration on right side sometime

You could also get a degaussing coil from a place like radioshack. It would probbably come with instructions how to use it. If you do go that route, dont be shocked at the effect it will have on the screen. Its normal.

Hi, Ravi, Here's sompthin' silly:

I notice that when I'm way off axis, like when a guest is sittin' in MY CHAIR, that the far side of the screen is off color in relation to the side that I'm sitting towards. (Exactly as you described-beige!) I know that's not it, but just had to mention it. Well then, how 'bout:

Is the problem still there when you return to the default settings?(don't forget to write down your personal settings first!)

How 'bout when you deactivate the automatic color correcting circuit?

Are you still in "Torch Mode"?

Not likely to help, but have you tried either an automatic or manual convergence?

Are you sending the signals directly to the TV, or routing them all thru the recviever?

My understanding is(Oh gads here we go again) that it takes a good month for the crts to, um..settle in, and then it's safe to have the set properly aligned. The dealer may send someone out to be sure the set is within proper operating parameters-Yeah, moving them is a chore! Know what you mean, my Mits is a whopping 330 lbs!!

Good luck! If you're like me, the first time you see something out of the ordinary, you lock in and track it...forever!!(til it's fixed)

hey guys,

thanks for all your suggestions.

here's an update.

I did move stuff around and it seemed to have diminished, but what i noticed was that it was just the viewing distance and angle that made it look different. i have put everything back and it still looks the same.

i read the warranty card and do you what is says!??!
IN HOME SERVICE - you can also buy extended in home warranties.
i'll call hitachi in the next day or two once i feel better (i've been really sick since the weekend), and see if they'll come here and fix it. i doubt it's a magnetic problem because the degaussing is not helping and neither is changing the settings back to defaults and all. i think the tube is just off.

Hi, Ravi;

Sorry that you're not feeling well and hope you feel better soon!

Also sorry that your TV isn't any better today either, however, Hitachi has a good reputation and will surely take good care of your TV when they arive.

I suspect that you'll both be feeling better soon!!
(Now if we could just get extended warranties on Ourselves!!!)

Get well soon!
Rich.

thanks Rich

Welcome, indeed.
