Get a replacement.

secky74 · « **Reply #421 on:** Feb 05, 2011 at 04:02 PM »

@andre
Already out of warranty, purchased December 23, 2009
But I reported it on the 2nd week of December, they didn't reply (SMS hotline), after unplugging the unit and plugging it back, all was good (I thought it was only caused by power fluctuations or something) ... or so I thought... $:-\$

Called up LG, they want me to fax the receipt, and the approximate date I texted them regarding the problem, hopefully they consider it, I told them, that we only use the TV on Saturdays and Sundays, and that we don't use it much, since we have 2 lcd tvs at home, the kids only use this one (LG) for ps3 and some movies...

I told them also how their "techs" diagnosed the problem, without really diagnosing the TV... and after they checked it, it seemed to get worse...

But I think the LG girl really is being considerate... hopefully... Thanks for the tips guys... luckily I saved a jpeg file on my laptop (receipt) to show them, the receipt can be hardly read...

too bad, but the best remedy now is to convince LG to service your TV for free since you informed them even before the warranty expired.
the way it looks, other modules or board are suspects and these are expensive to repair unless only leaky or bloated capacitors are involved.

bro, I am still confident LG will be on your side.

I have the same problem before, try to scan your USB thumb drive or USB HDD, delete all infected files and try it again in your TV. It worked fine for me.

the ld460 can only read certain file types and specification. even mkv and mp4 formats have different versions of audio and video encoding. refer to your manual for more details

How's the overscan on this model when you connect a laptop on hdmi?

aceaceace · « **Reply #430 on:** Feb 09, 2011 at 08:31 AM »

i use just scan ratio for laptop via hdmi, sakto lang.

Hi mga sirs, new member po ako. I just bought this tv sa gadgets in style festival mall for 39,000 last January 5. Ok naman yung tv walang backlight bleed. Last week, I noticed na nagkaroon ng vertical line ng stuck pixels sa gitna pa ng panel. Sabi ko badtrip tong LG mahinang klase. I called LG last Saturday for warranty claim. Last Monday, LG technicians came to my house to inspect the tv. They confirmed na palit panel talaga. They told me that they will order a new panel from LG main. 2-3 days ang ordering time. Early today, the technicians called and told me the panel arrived. They took under an hour to replace the panel. Bago pa yung panel naka box pa and the technician told me na 25,000 yung price nung panel. Anyway, I'm very impressed with the aftersales service of LG. No regrets with my purchase. If I'm going to buy another tv, LG na ang brand.

That feedback is good to hear. These experiences I've seen are one of the reasons I almost have gotten an LG plasma. However, the force is strong on the panasonic here in pdvd. Nevertheless, LG's success here is trully deserved unlike the other korean brand. Eventually that kim jung ill brand is gonna be down, hopefully soon if they don't make their work straight.

sir tanong newbie, mkv is just a container how would i know what is the specific video encoding used in an mkv file. may software po bang gamit dito? Problem ko din kasi yan I already have 4 mkv and 1 mp4 file na nag "invalid file" sa LG460. Un sa audio I just convert it from DTS to DD baka may way din to convert the video encoding only if i know un existing na gamit sa loob ng mkv? Thanks

roy128 · « **Reply #434 on:** Feb 10, 2011 at 07:28 AM »

i have yet to figure out the easy way to do that haha. may technical specs ng readable files sa manual under "My Media," check nyo na lang. what you can do is to convert those files that way. (finding the converter is another issue)

converting will take a loooong time, so it might be more enjoyable just get a multimedia HD player. as for me, i just connect my laptop directly and play via VLC. it also has 5.1 output option

good luck

Try IDC multi changer. Google it. Solved some of my "video not supported" problems.
It takes 2 seconds to convert. After that, most of converted files played. Works 90% most of the time.

Good day! ano po mas ok na gamitin HDD (specifically 2 tera) para sa TV natin, yung usb powered lang or may power adapter? Is there any difference when it comes to performance? TIA

if you check the manual, it can only power usb devices up to a certain amount. better get the ones that dont need external power. im using a 320gb WD elements, works fine

as for the difference in performance, some might work, some might not.

Hi, bought my 37LD460 at SNS last Sept. 12, 2010.

I'm very happy with everything except until last month when I see these on the corners of the screen:

Watch video. Click below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKSxFzBAEmQ

I thought it was just soot on the screen, but it won't wipe off when i tried. It's inside the screen.

What do I do to have them removed? Thanks.

Bigger 42" brothers.. may "Dust" issue din ba ang mga units nyo?
According to most, regardless if you have your unit cleaned, it will still return..
Best solution is replace with a different model daw.
How true is this?

Btw, you can check by displaying a pure white full screen or invoke PICTURE - ADVANCE - PATTERN - INNER in your remote's menu like what is displayed in the screen.

TIA!
