I just found out how to put my Samsung into service mode, and good
lord, there must be about 150 separate adjustments in there.
I found a test pattern and discovered that my screen geometry was not
nearly as good as I thought it was... totally making wide spots where
the bright patches are, distorting horizontal lines at the corners, all
kinds of horrible stuff. Yet I did not see the pincushioning of
verticals that I expected -- which is the one geometry error that I
sometimes notice in real viewing, particularly when pillarboxing gives
you a nice vertical to notice it on. Of course, the set hadn't been on
very long and so may have still been cold...
Don't worry, no way am I going to mess with trying to adjust anything.
In the meantime, I tried to fight back against the evil power of
television by installing Half-Life 2, only to be told that my CD key
was already owned by someone else even though I bought it brand new.
