I hate my tele. Everytime I turn it on the volume is on really high so I have to quickly find the remote and turn it down, and the remote hardly ever works as it is :(

So guys, what's wrong with your tele?

It's getting old, so the brightness on it has become crap. You turn it on, and you can hardly see what's going on. Manually turning up the brightness sucks - and even at full brightness, it's still pretty dim. Time for a new one.

maybe everytime you turn it off it's at night after you've been blasting your eardrums to many decibels and they have accustomed themselves to the loudness and then when you turn it on, you haven't been blasting decibels so they are very alert, so what was normal volume last night is way too loud of a morning.

that has been my feelings on the matter after noticing tv volume rates on our family television for several years.

It also used to come on to S4C, this Welsh channel, which was really annoying :hat:

Anyone else get those black and white dots?

Welcome to the world of the electromagnetic spectrum. If there's no channel, unless programmed otherwise, a television will just kinda spit out the kind of stuff it feels on the wind. "Static" if you will. More modern sets have changed the behavior to display a silent screen of blue or black or what have you, since static tends to be very loud and unpleasant.

Well, it's lovely and 20" but it's ancient, everything works though, but it's so so old and it's huge and ugly, it was my parent's first TV, so it's like 20 years old; Sanyo = reliable. There's nothing wrong with the TV, I just hate the fact that I don't have an aerial on the roof and I can't have one, so my picture is always terrible.

We got a new television in December. It had a built in satellite thingy that gave us nice high definition stations, although some do not have any sound. The only problem is my brother came over and screwed around with it, and now we no longer have PBS! It's like, the best channel ever, what the hell. IT'S JUST NOT FAIR.

1. When I want it to be quiet, it's really loud, and when I want it to be loud, it's really quiet.
2. The button I have to use to turn it on is like the loudest thing in existence.
3. The sunlight falls right through my window in my bedroom, eclipsing like half the screen.

That's all I can think of right now. Next time it's getting on my nerves I'll add on.

It makes an irritating buzzing sound. The DVD part makes an even louder buzzing or clicking sound and I can hear the disc spinning (so I never use that part). But I love it anyway.

i just bought mine a week before Christmas. A beautiful 32" flatscreen, perfect for my ps3 and there are two little white dots that are just there on the screen, I think it's a dead pixel. Also every now and then it'll make a weird tick sound and the volume will just drop so I have to turn it up and the it gradually gets louder again and I have to turn it back down. I love it though :D :D :D

Volume is absolutely random. Sometimes 40 is great, sometimes 35 is too loud, sometimes 100 (of 100) is too quiet.

The television is just in the wrong place so the sun light falls on it in the morning and it's no good. ;_;

The Ring to the maxx XD

I have some issues with the reception of the Tv while the DVD is on. only way to prevent this is either turning off the DVD or, watch tv from the TV/AV mode.

im american so i have to deel with this fucking digital signal switch over i have no interest in digital signal because every new tv i see looks all pixel-ated and the signal look no better

i know that air stations can look like crap (when it rains fox fails but when it snows it looks damn fine)

those converter boxes, do i need i per tv or could i hook it up straight to the antenna and then distribute it to the five tv's in the house?
