Ok so here goes...
I've searched as much as I can for a similar issue and cant seem to find one. Basically turned the tv on one day and the picture was terrible.
Firstly, the screen started out black and slowly the picture came through almost like a lava lamp warming up, clearing the screen as it went, which look blotchy almosy as if an pil spill was being taken off. (See Black blotchy pics).
Secondly, the picture is a complete haze, really dull as if it has a grey cloudy veil in front of it. Its as if someone has drape the tv in an old net curtain and told you to watch the telly through the net curtain.
Sound is perfect.
Source is perfect too (sky tv pic perfect on other 42" plasma usomg hdmi, VGA also spot on).
Done a factory reset in hidden menus. No improvement.
Run one of those 8hr overnight black/white screen washy things - no improvement.
I havent opened up the tv yet.... as I like to be heading in the right direction before doing anything with my screwdrivers.
Ive about read xsus/ysus/tcon/capacitors problems which "might" be the problem, but thought I'd get a major signpost before opening up the telly.
Any advise/guidance greatly appreciated.
Cheers Simon
PS I have a multimeter....and will review the thread on how to use it "again" lol so please treat me as an 8yr when explaining where and what to push/pull/press and where to stick it hahahah
