Issues with TV
« on: Oct 24, 2010, 08:59:18 PM »
We have a Sony KP61HS-10 and it is blurry, virtually all the time. Anyone know what is wrong with it? It is an older model, but the thing is, there is a button on the front of it (labeled "FLASH FOCUS"), that when you press it, it goes to a crosshair "+" in the middle of the black screen and blinks different colored squares around the outside of the screen. It is instantly better, but usually gets blurry again within minutes.

Anyone have any ideas?

yep, probably just dust. clean it out and typically this will fix the problem. This goes for any type of television not just projections.

Just half of my projection tv is blurry.  Does that just mean one bulb is dirty or something?
