Question about Sanyo DP42746 42 in. Plasma Television

Tv too dark

Recently i bought the sanyo 42 in hi def plazma flat screen tv. for about 2 months since i bought the tv the color has been very dark. i toyed around with the settings and tried manually making it brighter but that just messes up the picture quality and makes it grainy. Did i buy a bum tv or is there a quick fix for this problem, or do i just need to return it?

IS THERE A REPLACEMENT BULB IN THE 42' SANYO FLAT SCREEN TV

There is no bulb, likely an LED with RG colors. You need to get the right LED part number and replace it yourself if you are handy with a soldering iron.

My 42" hd Sanyo flat

chances are your backlight inverter circuit has failed, repaired one a few months back with the same problem. To verify this, take the tv in a dark room. plug it in and take a bright\ flash light and shine it on the screen. turn the set on, you should see either the screen saver or video from your source. If this is the case, your inverter is at fault. Depending on your model, your backlight inverter is built onto your power supply board so you will have to replace the power supply/inverter board. Not hard to do, you can do it yourself with care.

Hi,
all you need is optical toslink to rca converter(adapter)
but you will really loss some clarity and features
because converting digital to analog always eats up quality

My Vizio LCD TV screen fades to dark. Sound stays on.

I w having this same issue when watching a Blu-Ray disc. I found it to be dependent upon what picture mode the TV was set to. By this I mean certain picture modes would cause the TV to dim during dark scenes of a movie. Changing the picture mode helped a lot.

Black bar

On a non H.Def plasma, there is a PCB that runs along the bottom of the screen that is attached to the screen by a several brown/gold colored flat ribbon cables. I've seen where this ribbon cable is not seated properly in the jack. The ribbon cables are generally responsible for that section of the screen. Next possibility is the PCB itself is defective.
Not to scare you, but the plasma screen itself is a possible suspect.
