Zenith model P42W46X very weird
On analog cable, the set comes on with good audio but there is no
picture, just a bunch of thin vertical colored lines which change and are sort of "modulated" horizontally in density and color by the video information. The entire display also seems to exhibit the illusion of moving vertically at the same time. Not a vertical roll though. The best way to describe what I'm seeing is if you imagine your're riding in a vehicle that has an open floor so that you can see the road. The "lines" breathe horizontally while the road rushes by under you. Very weird. Has anyone seen this symptom on this set which I'm describing? Thanks, Lenny |

Thanks, Lenny If I were you I would throw a bowling ball through it and forget about T.V. all together. In 2000, I had a bad day at work. So I got home and saw the T.V. was tuned to MTV. So I went upstairs, got a bowling ball, and threw it through the screen and broke it. Then I took the bowling ball and threw it at the cabinet, and broke that and finished off the circuit board with it. I threw the T.V. pieces in the trash. My 27 inch T.V. was 6 inches tall when I was done with it, no higher than the speakers. I have not watched a minute of television since (unless it was in a resturant or at work) and don't miss it. I don't miss Judge Shyster or some jagoff pretending to be a doctor. Nor do I miss the same 9 movies and same 50 tv shows ran ad nauseum. I canceled cable, and when they asked me why I want to cancel cable I told them I had not receive another bill from them and hung up the fone. They did call me one day and asked if I would like to reactivate my cable subscription so I put the fone next to my ass and cut the loudest fart they have ever heard. I half way through eating a gallon of Anderson's French Vanilla ice cream when the doorbell rang so I opened the door and it was these young kids and they were offering me satellite T.V. service. It was the combo or bundle (you know fone, t.v. and internet rip off). I told them, "Let me get my checkbook" and I shut the door. I took a **** in my hand, opened the door, and threw the turd at them and told them that if they ever came back to my house, I would kick there asses. With the money I am not spending on cable T.V., I can spend it on things I truly enjoy. I have bought a bunch of oreos and twinkies and used them to fill up the void of space once left by my 27 incvh T.V. Needless to say. I no longer work for my former employer. I now own an ISP and have made enough money to buy a 2 story home, several cars and I have 24 hour a day cooks to whip up my favorite dish any time I ask. |
