Dreamweaver : How to get rid of the blue outline around images ?

You have one of two problems. Sometimes both.

Problem #1) CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

Picture of a set that needs the fluid changed.

Solution #1


What you will need to do is replace the coolant and clean the crt. You can get a repair kit from www.TvRepairKits.com that includes replacement coolant, photos. instructions, etc.

Problem #2)

Your TV may have a convergence failure. ( common problem )

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.

Here are some photos of convergence problems.




Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

Solution # 2

You will need to replace the convergence chips and possibly some convergence resistors and pico fuses. Its a fairly easy DIY job or you can call in a pro. If you want to do the repair yourself check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, thermal paste, email/phone support, etc.

Sounds like a convergence problem. I can tell you that the site that Jean posted will not fix this problem and could even make things worse. That site pertains to a specific problem that is common in some Sony sets and should not be used to try to fix any other issue.

Please keep in mind many things can go wrong with TV sets and you should really do a lot of research before attempting any adjustment and or repair. There are high voltages present and they can reside even when the set is unplugged.

dreamweaver can't display PSD (Photoshop) files so you will need to export the file for web. To do this from Photoshop, press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S to save the file for web. Choose your settings (all of the displayed settings will let you view the file in dreamweaver) and then save your new file.

Let me know if you need more info on this.

You may have 1 of two problems.

1) Convergence Chips are failing - Using your original remote goto the "convergence" screen. 

Try to adjust the red - UP - DOWN - LEFT - RIGHT

Next try to adjust the blue - UP - DOWN - LEFT - RIGHT

If you can move both colors in all directions you do not have a convergence issue. 

If you can't move one or more colors in one or more directions the convergence chips are defective and need to be replaced. 

If your convergence chips test out ok the most likely problem is......

2) CRT Coolant is cloudy  - The bright outline you described is one common symptom. Other symptoms include dull images, red or orange tint, halo around images.   

If you goto the site www.TvRepairKits.com - and click on "Tips" - you will find more detailed instructions on how to check the convergence.  

go to modify > page properties > appearance and put a 0 value on left margin, top margin, right margin and bottom margin

Hi smedsribaka
From the look of it I don't think it is the images causing the problem. Just remember to save the images for web when you have finished in photoshop.

There could be a number of reasons why the images a miss aligning. Looking at your code you are using tables. When you place an image in a cell you need to make sure of the values of the cell and holding table as well as there is now CSS clashes.

You need to be careful of the relationship of the cells within the table. You cannot leave any cell empty. You need to put in a spacer to the dimension you want that cell t be. You need to calculate the height and width of the table and make sure the content (images) match that.

From what I can see the main issue is you have used one image for both boxes corners (each side) You should have all the corners of each box separate. Also try splitting the two elements into separate tables.

If you have the time you should try and get to grips with building the page in CSS and do away with the tables. Adobe have some great tutorials on their site.

Hope it helps

reset the settings to factory default. the resolution and phase is off. also make sure the projector is not too close to the screen.

Macromedia Dreamweaver for the first time, or on a new site for the first time, you need to define the Web site so that Dreamweaver can work with it. This process includes naming the site, placing the local files on a directory on your hard drive, and showing Dreamweaver where those files will be published on the Web. Follow these easy instructions to define a new Web site for Dreamweaver .

First, you should go to the "Site" menu and choose "Manage Sites".
As you can see from the image below, this will open a dialog window. Choose "New Site" from the "New" button.

The Samsung has bad convergence IC's most likly. This should be repair ONLY by a trained technician as a TV set is not a place to experiment or tinker with because of the extremly high voltage inside. This repair should cost you in the range of 250 to 400 bucks . Good Luck
