I've started all my settings from a reset !Namingway_PL wrote:@1040STF Did You try to reset everything? I don't remember the exact procedure and I don't want to mess something up like with those pots as I'm writing from memory,so You better check the manual before You do that. Not sure if You will have to reset each setting one by one or is there a general reset function like the "factory reset" in Sony monitors, but there is definitely a way to do that. Just be sure to set the knobs to neutral position before You reset anything.
Worth a try.

Yep, it does. In fact it's a new one that I chose specifically to match the original one in its density.fernan1234 wrote: @1040STF Does your DT-V still have the anti-glare filter on the tube?
That's exactly what I experience and yeah I do agree, it's worth the tradeoff.fernan1234 wrote: It does a fantastic job at keeping blacks black and almost eliminating all reflections in a bright room, and it's neutral density so color accuracy is preserved, but at a small tradeoff with slightly less "pop" than CRTs with absolutely no filters, like almost all BVMs and many PVMs for example. That may be the difference you're noticing, and IMO it's a very worthy tradeoff.
Well, I really have to put all the contrast settings to the max to get back a nice and most of all balanced picture. The front toggle, the main setting, the service menu common setting and the service menu setting for the resolution. That's.. a lot. I know. But I have a very good eye for that (it's part of my job) so that's very important to me to find back that balance.fernan1234 wrote: Slightly increasing contrast and brightness may be fine, though as you can see it's not good to take it too far. The tube is already being overdriven in a way at stock values since it has to compensate for the anti-glare filter which is 1 stop (50% brightness cut). The overall difference should be slight, if not hard to notice, unless the tube has seen a lot of work.
I have two units. One is 155.000 hours and the other is only 12.000 hours.fernan1234 wrote: How many hours on your unit?
But they behave almost exactly the same and need almost the same settings.
