My Menu's lost the Black Box they appear in. Just the white letters over the image on the screen.

Anyone ever see that before?

Hi,

Maybe You'll have to clean the socket pins of U106 on the CLM. It's the Pixel Processor where the internal video (menus & test patterns) are generated...

Yep, yep. There is even sometimes a menu setting which will allow this on some devices. Menu transparency and such....

LOL, i'll try later after Thanks Giving Dinner. I am running the auto cal again right now. it's weird, after each auto cal things look great and measure really good. Then I always check the calibration again the next day. Let them warm up for an hour since that is how long it take me to get things ready for the auto cal. I then re measure the grey scale and Gamut and the grey scale is way Off!! The Gamut is fine or hardly moved. I wonder if its the probe that also needs to be warm up for an hour as well? nest time I'll set it white balance measurement in continuous reading mode while the PJ's war up, the do a reading.

yeah Tim I was thinking something in the Blanking signal.

Nash,

Let me know if you think the PR-650 would make a difference. If so, I send it right out to you.

Hope all is well and you were actually able to enjoy a little family time on Thanksgiving!
