Help/Advice on Toshiba 27AF41 Television!

It sounds like your set may be exhibiting some pincushion distortion at the
top of the screen. Most TVs have service menus that allow a much broader set
of adjustments than what is available from the standard user menu. You can
probably fix this from the Toshiba service menu, but making service menu
adjustments is something that should be attempted only if you are careful.
Go to

for some very good info on this sort of thing. The site also has info on how
to get into the Toshiba service menu. BUT MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN THE
DEFAULT VALUES FOR ANY CODES BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES!

All these sets have slight pin errors of some type.  You can call the
manufacture rep for a warrenty call, but I have a feeling that your set
is most likely within their specs.

These sets have a spec of about 2% pin error to the edge of the screen.
This means that on a 27 inch diagnal tube, the error can be about  0.54
inches.  This is +- 0.27 inches average.

The more expensive models, may be a bit more accurate but not by much.
The price may increase by a lot in order to get a bit more performance
accuracy.  The only very accurate sets are a true TV monitor.  This
would be very expensive to purchase for viewing home TV.

Hello,

I have recently purchased this unit & I am in need of help from anyone
who
is in the know about this set.I am noticing a slight inward bend on the
top
left & right of the picture when running various test patterns (I am
running
the patterns from a source dvd) & when watching any films/tv shows.

Is there anything I can do to correct this problem? I have attempted to
correct the problem by lowering the contrast,adjusting
sharpness,etc..The
manual that the television came with as well as the on screen menus have
been no help.

I would appreciate any help/feedback any one can give me.Please respond
privately as I am unable to check newsgroups often.

Thanks,
Kenny
