INSIGNIA 50" 1080p plasma picture problems

I purchased a INSIGNIA 50" 1080p plasma HDTV (NS-PDP50HD-09) last year, and it's plagued with this picture problem.  What happens is the picture will split in half down the vertical middle, and the left half will bounce up and down one way, and the right half the opposite way.  It's starting to get worse and worse.  So i called support over a month ago (and it fell and still falls for a week under the 1 year manufacturer's warranty) and best buy sent a 3rd party company to look at it.  Unfortunately they only work during weekdays, and close at around 5, so i had to take days off to have my tv serviced.  I finally got it back, however it's been a week and the problem has resurfaced.  I just called in again, and they said they will resend the company to look at it again.  However, I am becoming frustrated with the situation, because the warranty end date is nearing, and although i was assured that there is a 90 day guaranty on it, i've paid for something is essentially broken.  When it worked properly, i was very satisfied with the TV.  Am i going to be stuck with a 75lb paper weight?  I don't believe this model is manufactured anymore.  Are there any options for me?

I've got the same exact problem with mine. It only does it when it's in one of the zoom modes. I had a tech check it out and he had fixed the problem but 3 months later the problem started up again.  Now I'm just waiting to hear back from BB on if they're going to fix it or replace it.

  • DLP Picture problem

    Hi,
    All of a sudden I've been getting this.. almost static picture problem. It exists above my tv feed as well as the TV menus and text. You can see it below.It's a 72MX195 if that helps.
    Any ideas?

    Unfortunately if it's on top of the menus as well, it sounds like it likely requires servicing. I'm sorry.

  • Missing Pictures problem

    Missing Pictures problem, I work with Adobe Illustrator CS2 at work & CS3 at home but i have the problem with both. I have a problem with missing pictures from time to time after saving the file & moving the image from original location. I know you have to link the images/files and leave then where the are or you can embeded them. So in my option box i un select the link the files box & i still get the missing files problem, when re-opening the AI file.
    Does anybody know why? Or what I can do to avoid this?
    Thanks

    Aliases are better at tracing their origins than Illy is.

    Could you expand on that a bit please...  the "make aliases of your pictures", i mean...

  • Insignia 50 inch plasma question

    Just bought a Insignia® 50" Class / 1080p / 600Hz / Plasma HDTV last saturday at your best buy located in Tulsa, OK . Picture and everything is amazing but I noticed if I leave it on the netflix screen for more then 10-20 minutes without moving or watch sportscenter or play xbox I get a partial burn in on the screen. It goes away after a little bit, but I was wondering if this was common with these plasma's if so I may want to return it and pay a bit more for a samsung or sony that is less likely to have this issue. If this is no concern and just normal please let me know as this is the first plasma I've owned over 32 inches. thanks in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I know how you feel when you think the TV might not be "perfect".  I have the Samsung 42" 450 series (720p) which is one of their low end plasmas.  I've never left an image frozen on the screen for that period of time that you mentioned.  Dark tickers on ESPN, yes, for hours and no issue.  I can't speak for Insignia plasma TVs, but I understand that this type of image retention is relatively common particularly when the TV is new.  I hear about break in periods to be more careful for a few weeks or so, but I don't know if it's true.  Yeah, I would wait and see how it goes within your 30 days too.  May not hurt to contact Insignia directly to see if they think it's normal too just to gain a little peace of mind.  Although I haven't had this issue, that doesn't mean it couldn't happen on the Samsung or other plasmas as mentioned above about the Pannys.  Best of luck.

  • Insignia LED LCD 42 Picture Fades

    We just bought a 42" Insignia LED-LCD tv and we've noticed that the picture darkens itself and brightens again constantly as we are watching tv. We thought it may be a setting we may have turned on or something, but we cant seem to get it to stop. We've turned the Energy Saver option off and its now to custom. Any suggestions? It's really bugging us that we can't figure this out. We had an LCD (not LED) tv before this one and didnt have this problem.
    Any help you can provide would be awesome! thanks!

    Actually, there IS a setting to automatically adjust the brightness and contrast in the Advanced Video section of the settings.
    From page 17 of the manual:
    "Advanced Contrast-When you see the pop-up menu, set Adaptive Contrast to On to adjust picture detail and brightness automatically or to set Dynamic Contrast Ratio to On to automatically adjust the contrast between the light and dark areas of the picture."
    Check and see if Adaptive Contrast or Dynamic Contrast Ratio are turned on in the Advanced Video-> Advanced Contrast section of the menu. If they're on, turn them off, and see if the problem goes away.

  • Insignia NS-27LCD no picture

    I recently was given an Insignia 27 inch LCD TV.  I was told that the power supply was bad when it was given to me but upon further investigation i don't think it is.  I have never seen a picture but when i plug it in the INSIGNIA logo turns red and when i press power it turns blue.  I would assume that it turns blue when it is on.  Also, if anybody can tell me what happens when nothing is plugged into it, like no input from cable box, video game, etc.I would assume there would be a message like no input or something.  Or at least let me access the menu.
    I have no warranty so please dont tell me about taking it to best buy or something.  They wont help at store unless i buy new tv.  Which is lame because best buy is the only place that sells these, so obviously i got it from a best buy (well i didn't but the original owner did)
    Anyway.. if anybody can tell me if this is a common problem.  I have been told to replace two caps on the power supply board with ones with higher voltages.  I would think that if the caps were bad then the blue leds wouldn't turn on when i hit power.  thanks for any help that can be offered

    I too have a NS-27LCD. Last evening my wife heard a pop and the picture went away. The unit exhibits the same symptoms that you describe. Upon disassembling the unit I have found on the power supply board, FU502 burned. I believe that FU502 is a fusible link of some kind. None of the other components on the Power Supply card appear damaged. FU502 can be found on the Power Supply board between C542 and Two caps, one of which is C539. I have also noticed that it appears that FU503 was never installed. 

  • New TV Insignia Model NSL-19Q-10A Problem?

    Hello, I set this up and all stations come in just fine, but there is one big problem, when I press
    a station on the remote, it first brings up a Zero station. Let me explain, if I press channel 6
    I first get a station "ATV 6.0" (which states there is No Signal) I then have to press the channel up one more time to get to get 6-1 and the signal is then ok and the picture is perfect!
    I have to do this with all the stations and if i use the Recall button it will not go back to the 6-1
    it goes back to the ATV6-0 and I have to repeat pressing the channel up button!
    How can I get rid of the ATV-0 stations that come up first. They are not in the add/delete stations?
    Is this a defect in this TV?  Someone please let me know if you have any ideas as to what
    is going on here? Thanks

  • Imovie text and picture problem

    I have this movie clip and on that clip I made the text effect focus, so the movie clips gets unclear. (all that its working fine)
    BUT.. then I would also like to have a picture next to the text, but now this picture get also unclear, but I want it clear as the text.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks;)

    No problem at all (well, perhaps a tiny one).
    The x'es only the rectangles are created with the Rectangle Frame Tool, rather than with the Rectangle Tool -- or, for that matter, with the Text tool. TheX will disappear as soon as you click inside it with the text tool. They are to indicate two different basic objects, and may get a different default Object Style applied.
    The usual way to draw a frame designated to receive text is dragging one out with the Text tool.
    The dotted lines may be a problem -- that indicates the frames are created on a master page, rather than on the page you are working on. You cannot click-and-type in a frame that resides on a master page; you have to 'release' it first (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Double Click, with the black arrow). There are arguments for and against defining actual text frames on master pages; you'll have to decide for yourself what to use.
    This image shows rectangles and rectangle frames on a master page (left) and 'immediately' on a normal page (right):

  • Sub Picture problem in Encore CS6

    I am working on my first bluray project. I made the Menu for Encore as I have make many in Photoshop.
    The video is 1280 x 720 so I made the Menu 1280 x 720.
    The problem is with the Highlight layers, but not all of them.
    Here is a composite of 3 screen shots of a preview of the menu in Encore.
    The top shows the left most button the Highlight shows only 3/4 of the button.
    The middle shows how middle three buttons work fine.
    The lower section shows the second from the right button, it does not work fully and part of the 6th button is on.
    When I let Encore create a sub picture the same thing happened.
    I have made sure that the GROUP boundaries do not over lap. I have moved the 1st, 5th and 6th button further away from each other but it still happens.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    I know this is old but just in case someone sees this and has the same problem. I am using 5.5 and I found this same issue. Upon playback before making it a dvd, portions of the highlight boxes were gone. The 4th outline of the box was not appearing. My project was a 2 dvd set and I had saw this problem in the first dvd and was going to find the answer but ended up burning it to dvd and the boxes looked as they were supposed to. Very strange but glad that it worked.

  • Loading picture problem

    I'm having problem with loading picture in applet window. Here is the example CODE:
    * <applet code="SimpleImageLoad" width=248 height=146>
    * <param name="img" value="seattle.jpg">
    * </applet>
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.applet.*;
    public class SimpleImageLoad extends Applet
    Image img;
    public void init() {
    img = getImage(getDocumentBase(), getParameter("img"));
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
    g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
    When i run this file, applet window starts normaly, but picture doesn't load in it, window is empty. The picture is placed in the same directory where the applet HTML file is. I don't know where i'm going wrong?
    P.S. I'm new in java!

    Your code worked okay as-is. Here I'm loading in a jpg from the "images" directory which is in the current (".", dot) folder. The 'getImage' method returns immediately, ie, it doesn't wait for the image data to be loaded. We use MediaTracker to load the image data before trying to use/draw it. Bad file path and data-not-loaded are the major stumbling blocks in image loading. Another is corrupted image data or unrecognized format; try another image. The swing tutorial has a page "How to Use ImageIcons" with lots of related information. Also, one of the applet threads has image info.
    * <applet code="SIL" width="400" height="400">
    * <param name="img" value="images/cougar.jpg">
    * </applet>
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.applet.*;
    public class SIL extends Applet {
        Image img;
        public void init() {
            img = getImage(getDocumentBase(), getParameter("img"));
            loadImage();
        private void loadImage() {
            MediaTracker mt = new MediaTracker(this);
            mt.addImage(img, 0);
            try {
                mt.waitForID(0);
            } catch(InterruptedException ie) {
                System.err.println("interrupt: " + ie.getMessage());
        public void paint(Graphics g) {
            g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
    }

  • Contact Picture Problems

    When I take a picture and then decide to make that picture match a contact, that works fine. The problem is if I first go into my contacts...then edit...then say add picture....and take new picture. It will let me take the picture and even adjust it, but when i press set picture, the program closes down and goes to the home screen and the picture is not saved to the contact. This happens every time. Any help on this subject would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I tried with me and don't have problem. After chosing the picture in my album I got next step i.e. crop picture. Here you can move "blue square" which helps you to put in centere what you want. After that just confirm Crop button and the picture is assigned to contact.

  • 42 Inch Philips Plasma Resolution Problem

    I have tried hooking up my Mini to my 42 inch Philips plasma TV and I am having a problem getting the resolution issues solved. I have after market software that allows me to make resolutions available after configuring them and restarting the computer. Does anyone have the same TV and know what the setup should be? I am currently at 1280x720 and it seems to be ok for vertical, but horizontally things are cutoff the screen. Any help would be much appreciated since this problems seems to have started with the update to 10.5.7.
    Message was edited by: hatesand

    Hi Hatesand, what settings did you change to make this work? On the mini or on the plasma?
    I'm still plodding along with 1920x1080 as nothing seems to make the monitor stay in 1920x1200

  • Brand New Insignia 37" 1080p

    Last night I set up my brand new Insignia and had it up and running...I sensed alot of heat coming from the tv but didn't think it was a big problem. So I went out of the room for maybe about 20 minutes and when I came back the tv was off. The small red indicator light that lets you know that there is power feeding to the tv was not visible. I tried unplugging everything and putting it back in and still nothing. I even left it unplugged over night and tried again this morning but still nothing. Yet I noticed that when I pulled the plug out of the back of the television the small red light appeared and shut off again. This also happened when I plugged it back in> I believe that the tv has shorted> Would best buy come out to fix the problem or will I get it replaced.?????
    WHAT DO I DO?
    p.s. I did use the monster surge protector before plugging anything into its power...so i don't think it was an unprotected surge related incident.

    If you had this TV delivered just go into BB and get a replacement delivered.  If you carried it home you'll have to take it back and exchange it. In any case, get it exchanged.

  • Live picture problem with dreamweaver CS4

    Hi all,
    I am having problems inserting images onto my website. In design view I can view all images perfectly, however when I run the website live the images fail to display. Instead of the picture, the name of the picture appears with a red error cross in a box. These pictures are in the appropriate format (e.gjpeg & gif) so I am very confused and not sure what to do.
    I would really would appreciate if anyone could assist me with this.
    Thanks guys.
