Thought I'd share this experience as I'd be interested if anyone knows the cause. (firmware bug?)

Plugged S-Video Output from Computer to this TV and noticed red portion of colour-space missing. Initially thought either I'd done something wrong or perhaps needed a compliant working colour space so installed Windows ICC and still no joy.

Process of elimination isolated issue to Composite/S/Scart (not VGA) regardless of video source (Camera/PC/etc). So basically it *was* the TV as I'd tried same sources in other TVs and fine.

After checking all TV settings I pulled the power and upon returning it the image was restored; how bizarre.

Here's a couple of images.

I've also noticed S-Video seems to be an enigma with compliance. When I use the S-Video output from a PC to my CRT projector the PC doesn't acknowledge it, I have to activate it. The flat panel TVs will inform the gfx card a signal is present. In saying that a CRT TV using S-Video via Scart works ok.

Perhaps my PJ is missing a handshaking carrier signal.
