*ahem* Pull (push to release) the front AV-in cover...

I don't know if the ghosting can be fixed using the service menu, for that you may need to enter the designer menu which, allegedly, has two or three hundred settings. Again, I wouldn't recommend changing any parameters apart from those listed in my previous post. You really can damge the set.
Try getting Toshiba to fix the ghosting. I had a problem with my 32ZP38 where faint horizontal lines would run across the screen when progressive scan was enabled, I contacted Toshiba and within a fotnight an engineer called round and fixed it on site; he even repaired an old DVD player of mine for a cup of tea, a flapjack and a tenner in his back pocket.Comment

I had to do a RTB for my first PF2 set because of the above prog-scan problem - rather than repair it my vendor just did a straight swap and the second was fine...
For the ghosting: have you tried simply changing your brightness and contrast values? They're all over the place if you use the default viewing settings... I've heard horrible stories on the AV Forums about green smearing/ghosting and the like but I've never had it...Comment

I swear, all I've got at the front of my TV are front, left and right speakers. There's no cover. I pushed the whole front of the TV with the force of 10 to try and get something to magically appear, but no; they do not come down. And I tried that when I got it about a year and a half ago.Originally posted by anephric
Cunted on the designer menu thing though :/Comment

You've got a 32ZP38, right? A Picture Frame 2? If it's even vaguely the same as my 36ZP38 it's got a front AV-in panel hidden behind a wee door on the front (in the middle). That's where the mute and volume buttons are stashed...Comment

Aye, I've followed recommendations for eliminating it with just basic colour settings and I've done as much as I can... it's still evident though, *ESPECIALLY* on Resi Code Veronica and ESPN NFL 2K5 (my benchmark test titles).Originally posted by anephricComment

Aye, Picture Frame 2.Originally posted by anephric
I'll have another look when I get home, but I swear all I have is speakers. I'm gonna look like a right twat if I get it open now :/Comment

But the PF2 dont have speakers on the set either mate, think you must have a different model surely?Originally posted by hankwangfordComment

hank, sort your head out man, the 32ZP38 has a long spring panel right in between the speakers - just press the little arrow and it should spring open, if not you've probably got a faulty panel.
Regarding the ghosting, try choosing picture mode 3, turning black stretch off and setting contrast and brightness levels to around 50-55. This might help a little, if not I suggest using picture mode 3 anyway as it switches off all digital enhancment gadgetry which results in more natural picture.Comment

Ofcourse it does, if you unplug all the surround speakers you can still hear audio. That silver tube at the front with the gridded holes, that's where the speakers are.Originally posted by MotiVaterComment

ALWAYS TURN BLACK STRETCH OFF - IT'S THE DEVIL'S WORK.
I also never touch Natural or Active scanning modes - I run everything in the pseudo "Progressive" mode. I've got so used to it I literally see a dance of scan lines in any other mode now...Comment

Same here, I leave my Tosh on Progressive Scan mode for everything as it looks much better than Natural, Active and 100Hz.Originally posted by anephricComment

Er...yeah...it does dunnit?!Originally posted by Pikman
Anyhoo, rapidly moving on (and changing the subject)..... I've got that crappy fault with mine too where there are lines on the screen in Prog Scan. Never got round to doing owt about it but reading this thread reminded me to sort it.
