Blackening around edges of Philips 55PL 55" LCD

Lately my TV has very dark borders around the edges of the set. I thought it could be the bulb, which I replaced. I resset the timers still no fix. The dark borders around the screen are aprox. 4".

Dark or low light tv shows are horrible as I can really only make out the middle of the screen.

SOURCE: The picure on my Philips 62PL9774 TV is dark around edges

I believe that this is an LCD projection TV. I haven not worked on this model of set, therefore I will comment genericaly.

There is probably dust accumulation, or maybe a problem in the optical path, or a problem with the lamp. The set would have to be checked for this type of fault to begin with. There are other types of conditions that can cause what is known as shading problems, but are mor rare than what I descibed.

Sounds like you may have the wrong lamp. Make sure you purchased a Philips lamp that's 100% compatible with your television model. Philips pioneered that lamp, so naturally they make 100 different types for DLPs and LCD projections.

You may have an elliptical lamp instead of parabolic. The lamp for your TV should read P22h.

Picture goes out, comes back, sound is fine

I found several instances of this probllen on various forums, and determined that it is the bulb after all. It seemed that a bulb should either work fine or be burnt out, so I thought it might be something else, but so many other customers had this identical problem that I am 99% sure it is the bulb. I found a replacement bulb with housing for about half the price of the Sony Store, so i ordered it. In the meantime, another customer offered a suggestion to try adjusting the Power setting to Power Saving instead of Standard. I tried this last night and the picture worked fine! I will replace the bulb when it arrives and keep the old one on hand in case this happens in the future. Thanks to all of the posters out there!!!

If you are in the US please help out the service people and let them do any schematic probing for you. I once worked for a depot facility of Philips near the Dallas area, and those guys need the work ; )

If you still get snagged on the proprietary stuff, try locating a similar
tv system, and see if you can locate their schematic. Sometimes the
chips are 'basically used the same"..but knowing Philips they have their
own set of chips.

Picture is not centered on monitor leaving a 2 1/2" black border on Philips LCD

I have a Philips 30 inch LCD and solved the problem by using the circular arrow button on the TV remote. Pointing it at the TV and clicking "right" (3 o'clock on the button), the picture moved right. Same thing on for "left". Worked for me.

Picture does not bleed to edge

this symptom is caused by a poor regulation in the power supply circuit. too low dc supply voltage will result to insufficient deflection, both vertically and horizontally. black borders appear around the raster. receivers generally use regulator in the main power supply to set the dc supply voltage at the value that will allow the picture to fill the screen with a little overscan. defective regulator can result in a small raster. most modern receivers today are using ic (integrated cirduit) regulator. but if you are not inclined with this kind of job, better bring it to a qualified tv technician. good luck!
