Just purchased a new Sony KDF-42WE655 over the weekend--really enjoying the screen, however--when I tune to local OTA stations, the picture initally comes up in 4:3 mode with bars on each side and I've got the pin-cushion effect on the vertical geometry on each side of the picture--best that I can measure it's somewhere between 0.05 to 0.10 inch deviation from vertical along each sidebar--I've called Sony and they say that it can be adjusted, but I was wonedering whether there is any one out there that knows what variables in the Service menu are used to adjust pin-cushion or is this an actual mechanical adjustment involving the LCD panels??

By the way--went back to the store and checked--the display model looked fine, but 2 more units they pulled from inventory and hooked up were as bad or worse than my unit??

I've seen this question asked by a few posters in this forum, but no replies.

Perhaps you would have more success posting your question in the correct forum. Your TV is an RPTV, questions about it should be posted in the RPTV forum.
