Very off-the-wall guess but is there a chance that the set or the source
(DVD?) is dual PAL/NTSC and it has accidently been set to NTSC?

For manuals, one would need the part number from the set's label.

it even happens like this when using the built in tuner, so it's not
the source.

it's a C28W440 (I'm pretty sure, I'm away from home, but googling would
suggest that this is what I have - it looks like it)

Thanks for your post.

you have a problem in the E-W pincushion circuit. probably an open
resistor. If not experienced in TV repair.... Get it to a tech!

Agreed, also a fair amount of keystone distortion, probably due the defects
in the same curciut area.

Thanks for the help. I have a slight background in Electronics, so I
think I might have a crack at this myself. I would rather blow up a
=A3250 TV and buy a new one, then pay =A3150 to get it fixed.... the =A3100
price difference is worth the risk IMO. Can anyone suggest a place I
could get a service manual for this TV, either in PDF or a hard copy?

Many Thanks,

Ian

How abt Hitachi they have them...

From their site:
'Generally speaking ESTA is only available to authorised service shops
and is issued under the control of each local Hitachi sales office.'.

I've looked on google to try to find places selling manuals, however
haven't had much luck.
I've sent an email to hitachi but I'm not holding my breath for that to
result in anything useful.

Any other suggestions?

Whats the Model Number I most probably have it.

Try this site http://www.highlandelectrix.fsnet.co.uk/myweb/tvs.html
follow the links and you will find that this is a Vestel 11AK33 chassis.
Follow this link, lots of faults suggested.
