Re: Could my TV be frying my consoles?
The TV is connected directly to the wall. My other appliances are off an extension cable from a socket at the wall about 1 metre away from the TV's socket.
The TV had this issue in my previous home as well where everything was hooked up to one large extension cable.
Thanks for the continued advice.
EDIT - I have previously discussed the awful light uniformity of this TV, in case it is somehow relevant: [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=67479"]https:/...Last edited by jonnyapps; 03-06-2019, 04:43 AM.

Re: Could my TV be frying my consoles?
What I mean is my PC is in a cupboard which made it a bit hard to reach and the HDMI cable always felt a bit loose in the back of the GPU, so I assumed 'it's that fiddly cable, no need to worry'.
I am testing now with the PC connected direct to the TV and the amp unplugged (from the TVs ARC HDMI). I have replaced the 'Cabletex' branded high speed HDMI cable with an Amazon Basics one and the issue is resolved (the issue remained when PC was direct into TV on the old cable).
I feel like I have gone...

Re: Could my TV be frying my consoles?
The problem changed/intensified when I removed the amp from the equation with the PC. I can't test the XBOX as it's now in the bin, but I will test the PS4 when I get home....

Could my TV be frying my consoles?
I have a [URL="https://www.panasonic.com/uk/support/discontinued-products/televisions/tx-50cx802b.html"]Panasonic TX-50CX802B[/URL].
I've always had intermittent issues (flickering or PC not detecting TV) which I put down to buying cheap HDMI cables, or the cables getting bent up but I'm now concerned it's something worse.
Could my TV be damaging my other hardware? I've listed my symptoms below.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Vertical light banding on edges of Panasonic 50CX802
The following are all 'correctly' exposed and match my viewing experience.

Sure, I'll take some photos/footage tonight when home.
I find it odd because most other complaints about the TV are the opposite. [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q32SM6Rp_70"]This[/URL] for example.Re: Vertical light banding on edges of Panasonic 50CX802

Vertical light banding on edges of Panasonic 50CX802
Hi,
Had some great help on here with a previous TV so I'm back!
Recently picked up a 50 inch Panasonic CX802 and it has bright vertical bars on both edges, which I have pictured
The image is an exaggerated version of the effect (finding the worst shade in Photoshop and over exposing the photo). It is only the far right/left brightest strips that are the problem when watching.
Frustratingly it also has an effect on colour saturation in those areas and is visible when watching films etc.
I have tried many combinations in the picture...Last edited by jonnyapps; 02-05-2018, 06:13 PM.

Re: Pink sparklies and voltage - Panasonic P42UT30B
Yes I did.
Thanks for all over the help everyone's provided in this thread.
I've reached the end of the experimentation I'm willing to do and as I now have a new TV will sell this one with the explanation of the problem and what I've tried.
Thanks again for a wonderful resource and fantastic help!...

Re: Pink sparklies and voltage - Panasonic P42UT30B
"They were moved counter-clockwise, towards a number 1 on the PCB and away from a number 3. This has been done in combination with setting VSUS to 'high' in the service menu"
I'll go back and check this though as reducing VSUS but then setting it to high doesn't seem to make sense and I was also reducing the VDA (assuming that second pot being moved counter-clockwise is also a reduction in voltage)....

Re: Pink sparklies and voltage - Panasonic P42UT30B
I had been a firm subscriber to this but recently had cause to buy a new TV and side-by-side the picture quality (and perceived resolution) is significantly worse on my P42UT30 at 1080p than my new 50CX802 Panny at 4k. Might be the size difference I suppose. Probably getting off track by worrying about this.
It is visible from my seated position approximately 2 metres away.
If this change worked to eradicate the pink noise would it suggest it isn't dithering?...
