tacomabanga1986 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) well my uncle inherited a tv from his mom when she past and the picture is bad, and a friend of mine has the exact same tv as well with the same problem its real hazy with white glow in the back and not much color output with a 720p or 1080i signal to it the tv is a Philips 55PW9363 55" Widescreen HD-Ready TV, here is a pic is there a way to fix his tv and if so what would be wrong with it? i thought it might be a light bulb or something but i dunno, he wants a cheap fix, if not he will prolly throw it away, i might be the one to fix it for him, i can prolly order him the parts off the net if i knew what it was to fix it plz help reason for edit = that aint the exact same tv as the inputs are different but it looks exactly like that from the front if that helps Edited March 21, 2011 by tacomabanga1986 Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickass audio Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 do you possibly have a pic of it acting up? I know the refresh bars of the tv are a pain in the butt to get past in a picture but see if you can get a pic of it doing it. It sounds kinda like you may have a dirty pinwheel if it is a projection tv which it looks like or your bulb is on the way out. Try to clean the color pinwheel inside it and the bulb but be very careful and gentle with it.

kickass audio Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 also, projection tv's sometimes have ways that you can align and adjust the picture just like a crt tv. Its a pain in the ass to do and if you do it wrong you can either get a shock of your life or make the tv worse than it was before you started working on it.

Superjay Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 that's kind of like my TV...you need to have the CRT guns re calibrated...figure about $150 Quote Principal JTech Consulting - Leader in 12-Volt Training and Product PlanningIt's not about how much power you have, but how well you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomabanga1986 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 i mean it plays a decent picture but has a white haze over it when its turned on, doesn't matter what's connected to it it doesn't look like its getting full color output, its like there all mixing together and getting a glow around objects and what knot if u want a idea, take ur lcd or w/e tv u got, put on a pare of glasses, take off the glasses, rub it with ur fingers then put em back on, thats what it looks like i kno they got that reflector thing in it but i dunno if thats got anything to do with it to work on it can i just take off the back panel to get to everything or is there another way to do so? also one of the rca audio outputs dont work, i tried to get his surround sound to work with it but it wont he hates going from a lcd to a rear projection lol i might try what u said tommrow to see if that helps its set for a few months without being played, would that have anything to do with it? also if the bulb is bad where do u get those as i dont think they sell these type tvs anymore?

Bakerman Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I've had several projection tv's. They are fixable, but if you want my honest opinion, just make entertainment for yourself by watching it burn, and invest in a flatscreen.

tacomabanga1986 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 heres a video i found from youtube on how it looks while working not his tv but u get the idea is this normal or is there something wrong with it? a friend has the exact same problem on the exact same tv Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickass audio Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 the haze like that usually means that either the mirrors inside are just dirty or the light needs cleaning or what not. or like superjay said the crt's inside are out of tune which is the biggest pain in the ass to set by yourself because you are in the back of the tv screwing around with it and you cant see shit on the front of the tv to see how well it is or isnt being aligned. and trust me when i tuned my 27" samsung hdtv crt set, it was the biggest pain in the ass. I got it working even better than it did out of the box but it took me months of screwing with everything and a few nasty shocks from slipping with the tools and hitting the wrong parts. haha. If anything, try to do just this. Get your computer and download pictures that have nothing but a picture for pure red, pure green, and pure blue (since these tv's have one crt display of red, green, and blue inside them) and see if by displaying just these pure colors if it is blurry. If it isnt then that proves flat out that your crt's are out of alignment and need to be re-calibrated which is something that can be done but its a pain in the ass.
