Hi,
I just bought a Hitachi rear-projection TV, the 43DX01B. I see color artifacts (mostly green) around black-to-white transitions in black-and-white films (through multiple DVDs on my panasonic DVD player AND the TV's internal tuner).
I've adjusted as best I could the convergence via the TV's front panel, and it seems to line up pretty well (crosshairs). The red and blue beams are adjustable, and the green is fixed.
I've already returned one of these units which was much worse (demo unit).
Is this a problem that all projection TVs have? Can I expect perfect b/w pictures, without any color artifacts?
Also, this is a digital TV - HDTV ready.

Thanks,
Sean

There is only so much you can do without accessing the service menu. Try ty start out with Video Essentials or Avia. These are great set-up DVD's. You should aslo seek out an ISF tech, I have a Mitsubishi 16:9 HDTV set and when I had it properly calibrated (geometry, color tempature, convergence) the set took on new life.
