Picture seems to be getting darker - Panasonic TH-42PWD6UY 42 in. HD-Ready Plasma Television

With a DLP TV, getting a darker picture means it is time to change the bulb.

The Digimax A7 Doesn't work outdoors, because on top of the camera, try taking a picture, but hold your hand on the top of your camera (Cover it) it's light sensitive. On top their is a built in sensor, the Darker it is the darker the picture is, the lighter, the lighter. If you cover it, (Usually on top) It should work fine outdoor, just don' t cover it indoor. Hope this helped. -CA

simple: remove back cover and locate the three large black lens you will see top and dead center, clean them with either a lens cloth or a paper towel with glass cleaner----they are the light source for your picture and should be cleaned once a year---as they get dusty the picture gets darker and duller looking.\\

Sounds like you have bad inverter boards, these are what light up your picture.

I have a PT61SX60 forsale. It works too. Anyone want it?

I contacted Sony directly. They were able to help me and didn't try to rip me off with some plan I didn't need.

You will need to post tv brand and model number

I just replaced a lamp in a Sony LCD projection that was just over a year old and it was bad. It was a VERY dim picture. You have a DLP but, in either case a dim or dark picture is almost always caused by the lamp.
