Absolutely hilarious. maybe a new thread title "Dumb TV reviews" I'm interested in what the 20% WTF is.
It's the fact that whenever it goes into certina higher definition video modes it shuts off the brightness controls and dims itself down a noticeable amount. The last thing you want when watching a HD video.
Also many video formats have that stupid black border around them which given the TV has a screen zooming mode that eliminates that on over the air TV shows. Why they choose to shut that function off as well for the USB and HDMI inputs running certain resolutions or whatever formats where it would give the user fullscreen video is stupid.
Next is the multi step method of accessing video off a USB based source. All the other inputs are -one button access- via the remote but anything off USB sources takes multiple steps to get to even though it automatically recognizes that a USB source with video is present every time it's turn on or one is inserted.
Last is that it randomly turns on its internal subsystems power 3.3, 5 and 12 volt (except for the screen backlight inverters) to do whatever it is it has to do for 5 - 10 seconds. The only reason I know that is because I have it rigged up to automatically turn on my surround sound systems whenever it powers up. I had it set up initially to take the 5 volt source off the USB ports as a remote on/off trigger for the surround sound but that source once the TV is on does not actually stay on all the time the TV is on for whatever reason.
When first turned on it will power up for about 5 seconds then shut down for about 10 more then power up and read the USB source if it has one. After that it will stay on for a while then drop out for 5 - 10 seconds, even when in use, then come back on at random. Also when turned off it will power up for that odd 5 - 10 second then shut down.
I figured I could get past that by tying into the main power SMPS output on a the 12 volt rail that runs all the higher power stuff like the screen backlighting inverters. Nope. That still does the same random power up and shutdown thing when the TV is turned off anyway. The only thing it cured was the random shutdowns when it was on.
