- Thank you very much vortash I left it unplugged all night with the same problem. Is it worth to have it fixed? Thanks I gonna look at the service manual
Hi I am vortash I have just looked at the service manual for this set and it actually does not use a bulb as it is not an Lcd or DLP projection TV . It actually employs three CRT based tubes that produce the picture with automatic focus and convergence systems .
If you do not have the manual for this set you can download it from

It says that if you have sound and no picture turn the set off and unplug it for 3o seconds then replace plug and turn on from switch on set not from the wall plug switch .. as this may reset the tv and cure the problem .. hope this helps regrads Vortash

I connected my Hitachi 51F500 51" rear projection TV (1080i) to my HTPC through a straight DVI and ran into a problem with resolution. BluRays and DVDs look perfect, but windows looks horrible. I can't read any text and can barely decipher the icons on my desktop. I've spent hours altering the display settings with nvidia controller and can't resolve this problem. nvidia controller recognizes the tv (even shows the model information) and has specific settings for the tv but still completely blurry on any setting. I've read some info on 1:1 ratios and I think that may be the problem. Does anyone know if this tv can be set to the 1:1 pixel? If not, will powerstrip software resolve this? PC specs are: EVGA nForce 730a mobo w/nvidia HDCP chipset; AMD Phenom Quad Agena; 4GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2; Plextor BluRay/DVD/CD; 1.5 TB storage. running XP sp3 until MS offers multiple license of W7. Thanks to any help in advance!
