Re: HLP4663WX - Image has hourglass effect

Post by grayfox » Tue Mar 08, 2011 6:46 pm

hello!
right of the bat I have to advice you might have to change your ballast :( this has nothing to do with the "hourglass effect" I just believe it to be weak because this is a recurring issue with Samsungs and a weak ballast can only power a weak or spent lamp, and when you put in a new one it is mercury rich and cannot power on :roll:

as to the effect you are getting on the screen if it is fixed by physically manipulating the screen itself, this can be a misalignment with the projector or the screen itself, you mentioned it has been moved around, is the screen perfectly flat? or is it concave at some point???

I don't know!? I was wondering the same thing. I tried checking the post above on my iphone... I wonder if I accidentally erased it. Is there a way to undo it?

Was the original post delted then?

The issue I am having is that the image has an hourglass effect. I am in the factory service menu... There has GOT to be an adjustment for pincushion in here somewhere.
Anyone know which one it is???
