Panasonic 27" TV - Washed out contrast? Help!

If the set is under warranty, you should send it for warranty repairs. There may be a video processing fault, or some other defect. There are a number of areas in the set that can go faulty, and cause your description. Troubleshooting for the exact fault may be complex, depending on exactly what has failed.

Ever since I've had the set the image has looked washed out.

For example... If there is a commercial with a logo onscreen with white lettering and a slightly darker background... The TV renders them as if they were both white so you can't read the lettering. When the logo is faded out at the end of the commercial, you can start to see more detail in the image for a brief moment.

I have tried adjusting the contrast brightness and color settings to no avail. I have tried different video cables both RCA and S-VIDEO with no success. I've even tried an in-line attenuator on the video input, but it only dims the image, it doesn't correct the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks! Drew

Don`t know the answer to your TV but, only 1 year and junk already, now I understand when I read, never buy new electronics for hi price, just buy used and very little price. at least if it breaks you don`t lose much.
