the panel was showing patchy and cloudy effects............. especially the lower right corner... it was very distracting during dark scenes.....
called up LG last week to arrange a technician to come down today......... they can actually respond in a couple of days but i prefer to do it when i am around ......so made it this week.....
2 guys came..... we swtiched on the panel and one of them acknowledged there was problem....... he tried to scroll through his master remote to see if he could adjust the backlight..... but there was none i.e nothing to adjust.... kinda weird right? why cant we adjust the backlight....
ok since we cant do anything about the backlight..... the LG guys decided to change a new panel for me..... he took a picture for verification.... and we took the TV down and they began to take the TV apart....
they brought a spare lcd panel...... firstly took the bracket then the rear cover....... next removed all the wires and connection panels......... unscrewed the bezel and viola, old panel was OFF......
the is how a bare panel looks like (from the rear)....
in no time, the new panel was mounted........... we switched the TV on and everything looked fine (for the moment)...............
thanked the guys...... and i continued to test the panel with tv broadcast and dvd....... so far so good..... but i noticed that, after 30 mins, the panel dun look so even after all........ haha.... there was already a slightly brighter patch on the lower left corner.........
well let me monitor for a few days........ i guess i have to accept this as an inherent problem of lcd panels?????
hopefully not.....
