Re: Shadow effects on widescreen tube televisions

The engineer is still consulting with Panasonic; I asked him to be sure what the tolerances for such things are. His conclusion, and that of others is that these are caused by the scanning coils. Note they curve in at the top and bottom, so they are slightly circular in their profile. They are most noticeable on 32inch and 36inch widescreen. He says once you have seen them once you will always see them so sorry for that.

I agree with your observation about bright images. Even at low brightness settings though, with a light coloured background (a cream coloured wall, sky etc...) they are visible.

I'll let you know when we have the tolerances.
