Re: Screen dimmer in recent months, weird symptom: EPG screen goes bright! LG 19LD350



Thanks for following up. I can't recall. It will be 2 or 3 days before I can check, I'll reply then....

In recent months the screen has been getting more and more dim. If that was all, I'd suppose the problem would be the backlight (LED? LCD?). But I've noticed this really weird symptom: switching to the EPG screen restores normal brightness! And then, even weirder, when I go back to the programme, for a moment the programme is at normal brightness and over the next 1-2 seconds it gradually dims down again.

Last time I looked in a TV it had EHT flyback, so I'm no expert. I do sometimes repair computer monitors and power supplies, most often when there's bad caps.

Anyhow,...

Hi, real name is John, but there's probably a million of them already registered, so I chose Hairspring because as a teenager I used to clean and repair watches as one of my hobbies. Another hobby at that time was electronics, mostly valves, but we seem to have moved on since then!
