Well I took off the back cover and blew all the dust out. Got to thinking and that heat may have been the problem, it seemed like the problem occured when the TV was warmed up and there was a lot of action on the screen. Didn't happen often when on the DVD blue screen for instance. I think a component in the power supply may have been overheating from the dust buildup. Played a movie after blowing out the dust, and it seems to be working good now. If this ain't the end of it I'll let you know.
While I'm here, what can you tell me about calibrating the picture (greyscale, colors, etc)? This TV has horizontal and vertical adjustment, RGB bias/drive, picture, and focus adjustment pots on the back. I would like to improve the calibration without having to buy a bunch of expensive equipment. If I acquire Video Essentials or that Aria disc can I calibrate it by eye to be fairly close to what it needs to be? I mainly use it for DVD playback and I'm using S-Video.
The picture seems a little off right now, black is not black enough, and if you turn the brightness down to fix it there is not enough contrast (everything is too dark). Also the image seems a little too red and greens are not right. Tint doesn't fix it, just makes it look weird. I would like to improve the calibration if possible. Thanks!
