Other than using the picture mode controls on the remote the settings would
be through a setup menu with access via a Factory Setup Code. This information may ge found in their available service literature fron the company. "Bryan Jones" wrote in message ...

They don't seem too keen to give me this information. I contacted LG and
they gave me the name of 2 local repair shops. 1 didn't want to know and the other wanted to charge 65ukp... I would like to avoid this if it's simply an adjustment required... which I guess it is... Does anyone know where I might find these codes? (have searched web etc...) "Art" wrote in message ...

Bryan !
Has this TV got a problem ,like has the width got bigger over time or you simply want to reduce the overall size of the width. Because making those types of adjustments could screw up the overall linearity of the picture especially if the TV has a fault. kip -- "Watch the return E-Mail addy its false" "Bryan Jones" wrote in message ...

I think the picture width has always been too wide (when on 16:9)... I
always assumed it was a mis-match between my cable box or something.. but on closer investigation it also happens with DVD etc.. I guess I am loosing about an inch, or slightly less (I sometimes loose the first letter of a title that is left justified).. It's out of the 12mth warranty now! "john" wrote in message .. . Bryan !

Service mode for some LG TV's: With the TV turned on, press "MENU" in the front panel and "MENU" in the remote control, at the same time. I don't know exactly about your TV but it is worth a try.

Bryan..Try this
Using the television's remote control: Turn the TV on. Hold down the [MENU] key on the remote until the menu clears or "Welcome to Zenith" appears then release the [MENU] key and within two (2) seconds hit the following five keys: [9], [8], [7], [6], [ENTER] -or- [9], [8], [7], [6], [DISPLAY] You will now have access to the service menus. [MENU] = Toggles between two menu pages [UP], [DOWN] cursor = selects the item for adjustment [left], [right] cursor = varies the value [POWER] = exit service mode and saves any adjustments made The items are appropriately captioned and the ones of interest should be easily spotted. kip |

Thanks for both replies, my TV does not have a menu button on the front
panel, and if I hold down the menu key the menu simply remains on the TV (Have held for about 50secs, I guess something would have happend sooner than that)... Anyone any other ideas to save me taking this to the repair shop? Thanks in advance Bryan "john" wrote in message .. . Bryan..Try this Using the television's remote control: Turn the TV on.
