Hi,

Anyone knows what e/w distortion stands for (tv-repair related).
What
exactly is the distortion and possible where I can find the reason
inside a tv for this disortion?

Thanks

It stands for East/West distortion, referring to a characteristic
bowing in
of both vertical sides of the picture under various fault
conditions.

Do you mean "barrel" and "pincushion" distortion?

Cheers,

Roger



I'm familiar with all of the terms, but the OP specifically asked what e/w
distortion meant.

A rose by any other name...
