Televisions

For christmas my family got a 42" panasonic viera plasma Television and we need to set the contrast below 50 to help avoid ghost images. We’ve tried to find contrast but it isn’t in the menu where Brightness etc. is like a normal tv. Where can we find this setting and is under a different name?

Panasonic refers to contrast as "Picture". You will find this setting under the "Picture" menu option.

In general, "Picture" (contrast) controls the brightness of your whites. The higher this setting, the brighter the image. Setting this value too high will wash-out the details in the bright areas of your scenes.

Panasonic recommends that you harden-off your plasma TV during the first 100 hours. The best way to do this is to use the factory settings with the "Standard" picture mode. This mode comes out of the box with the "Picture" and "Contrast" settings at 50%; an ideal setting during the hardening-off period. Use the reset in the "Standard" picture mode to reset these values back to the factory settings if you have changed them.

My Panasonic plasma Television has a 2 inch think pink line running from the top of the tv to the bottem. What is this and how to I fix it?

Push your girlfriend out of the way.

A shipment of 40 Television sets contains 3 defective units. How many ways can a vending company can buy five of these units and receive no defective units.

How would you go about solving this?

He first turns on 5 TVs. If they all are good, he quits. If there are one or more defective units he selects another set. If he now has 5 good ones he quits. If not he picks a seventh set. If he now has 5 good sets he quits. Otherwise he has four good sets and three bad sets so all of the rest are good and he just picks up one of them. Now he must have five good set.

Of course he could just turn on eight sets while the first one is still warming up and he has to have five or more good sets.
