Fluctuating brightness: Has this Fluctuating brightness problem been fixed?
13824
We bought ours during Thanksgiving from Best Buy and we do not have the fluctuating brightness problem. I don't remember the date, but I read in one of the reviews about when this problem was fixed. You will have to see the date on the box when you buy it because if the box has been sitting in the inventory for a year then you will have the one with the fluctuating brightness. There is also a fix for this fom Panasonic apparently. Hope this helps!

Depending on the brightness. If I crank up the brightness to high the dot gets fuzzy and starts to look like overlapping dots.

I am also having a problem with color calibration. Did you ever figure it out???? Thanks.

I have more of a backlight issue when viewed from off angle. There is a white fuzzy band of excess brightness on the right 1/8 of screen, that washes out the color. is this similar to your set?

If you look at power save options you can adjust the brightness I believe. I had similar issues, but the brightness is usually enough in power save mode that I don't have an issue with it.

I am sorry that I can not be of help, I have not noticed the flickering with mine in my setup. As others have suggested it may be defective and you may want to return it or exchange it.

Yes, I'm noticing that it happens after it comes back from hibernation for me. Screen opens bright for a second, then goes dim. I suspect something with the power-saving options compromising the screen performance. Still haven't figured it out :(

I have the same model (LED) and am coming up on having it 18 months. Hope I dont have the same problem. My son got the DLP (not LED) lamp model, 61" I believe, and has had no problems with his yet in the same time frame. I have noticed a picture "jitter" and rainbowing effect on some movies.

the recorded video and the on-screen stream are affected by the degree of light exposure. Not only the brightness degree but also affect the colours.

How can you adjust the brightness when the brightness option is shaded out on the setup menu? Help!

J. Harry:I'm not aware of a manual adjustment to brightness on the WFR-28. However, the brightness seems to auto-adjust between boot-up, and connected. Also, brightness seems slightly less when operating on battery than on AC. I've never encountered a situation in which need for brightness adjustment was required. Adequate in normal bedside (night-time) use. Never used the WFR-28 outdoors, so ... can't speak to brightness issue in this environment.VM

In my original review I pointed out that these flicker when dimmed, could also be associated with buzzing since the load is on and off. Mine are still going strong after considerable use, however, I rarely dim since the flickering is irritating.

Yea its a common issue the sensor gets over active in windows 8 at low brightness you can turn off auto brightness under general settings in the windows 8 interface settings

If I turn the brightness down far enough, then PWM flicker does show up, but I run it at 100% brightness and haven't had any problems. From what I have read, running the brightness at 100% eliminates the use of PWM. People suggest using software to adjust brightness and leave this at max.Mine has 5 buttons on the bottom of the monitor, from left to right, Bright+, Bright-, Vol+, Vol-. There is no display showing you what setting you are at though.

I've had mine running 8-9 hours a day for the last two weeks, plus lots of time since my review. No brightness issues that I've noticed. The cause of the diminished brightness in LED products, especially cheap ones, is that the designers intentionally over drive the LEDs to increase the brightness. This also shortens the life of the LED.

I have the same problem! This has really been bothering me, especially when it goes in and out. I am going to try to change the backlight and also notice if it has something to so with it only happening with bright shots.) Since it is under service warranty, I definitely plan to call the service repair number. Did any of you call for service? I will check the model of my 40" sony.

Try turning the brightness down and the contrast up and also adjust the color so it looks as real as possible. Also you can change the energy saver setting to make to lighter or darker. Offhand my settings on dynamic mode are:Contrast: 95Brightness: 32Color: 64Sharpness: 90Energy Saver: Level 1
