Title	SANYO 28WP4 Vertical Picture Shrink
Message
Similar problem to Gary dated 27/10/03 with his 28WN4. Picture is sometimes ok, but 80% of the time, it shrinks evenly vertically, and produces a "tunneling" effect on the edges (so any picture with vertical lines in, like a row of sky scrapers, the outer ones would appear curved (concaved)). Still under warranty with Tempo, but Tempo is now down the pan! Anyone help me?I have a good workbench ready and waiting! Cheers

One temp fix I forgot to mention....... if you move the scart plug (if you have any plugged in that is) up or down, it will temp fix the problem. I used misc objects to hold the leads in place to acheive a good picture. This obviously has something to do with making and unmaking a joint somewhere, perhaps on the PCB? Anyone?
