Samsung plasma screen not centered

[Dirtbikeguy2003]

My plasma screen is shifted to the right about 8 to 10 inches. Is there any way to adjust this. Model number pn43d450. It's the same on all the different inputs and players.

Are the menus also shifted?

Everything. The USB screen is also shifted.

OK, did this occur suddenly, or did it slowly drift?

Try the following:
1. Put the TV into standby using the remote control
2. On the remote quickly in sequence press: MUTE, 1, 8, 2, POWER.
3. After about 15 seconds TV powers up in service mode. Is service menu visible?
4. If menu is visible, locate the reset option and select it (press OK.) Do not touch anything else. If in any doubt, please consult here first.

This will put TV back to absolute shipping settings and reset any custom settings, calibration, user data, tuning, etc. It will be like out-of-the-box.

The tv had a bad main board and I replaced it. I think it's has this alignment problem since it was new. I did a factory reset and it's still shifted to the right.

Oh, did you happen to use main board from 51" in your 43"? The 51" is 1366x768 pixels or thereabouts. The 43" is 1024x768. The main boards are different and not compatible.

What options do you have on the service mode?

I don't think I did. I this one from eBay.

Try the service menu as tom suggests. It's not out of the realm of possibility that a PO set it wrong in the service menu then parted the set out and the board wound up in your hands.

Re: Samsung plasma screen not centered

How do I adjust it in the service menu.

Re: Samsung plasma screen not centered

Can you post a picture of the options available on the service menu?

[Dirtbikeguy2003]

Re: Samsung plasma screen not centered

Here is the main screen.

Re: Samsung plasma screen not centered

I have went through the menu and did not see any type of horizontal adjustment

[tom66]

Re: Samsung plasma screen not centered

OK, show us what's available under OPTION and CONTROL.

There won't be a simple adjust, you just have to find where to set panel from 51" to 43", may not always be available though.

Re: Samsung plasma screen not centered

I see under OPTION there is a TYPE option and it's 51dhhcd

[Dirtbikeguy2003]

Re: Samsung plasma screen not centered

If I select it there is no other options for that type

Re: Samsung plasma screen not centered

Sounds like it may be as tom suspected. Snap a pic of that screen it may be useful when returning the board should you have to.
