Ditched the 46 inch samsung led for a 51 inch samsung plasma today. I'm really enjoying not having any flash lighting or bleeding, I also can't wait until I can calibrate it!

I went to check my HFC's today and found one bolt at the mid to y pipe was missing, and the other was loose. Seemed to fix the problem as of now. Hopefully that was the problem.

Do you do the calibrating yourself? I need to get ahold of a good disc and calibrate mine.

Thanks a lot. I'll definitely keep you guys in mind. I'm kinda hoping the noise will come back before I leave Monday so I can get it taken care of once and for hopefully. It wouldn't surprise me if the problem isn't fixed, just based on the noises I was hearing.

No problem man. Yea I definitely understand wanting to have it all taken care of before you leave. Either way I hope it works out for you.

It's mr. Mackie to you!

In regards to the calibration I went off of some settings online and tweaked from there. Once I get the plasma broken in I will pay someone certified to do it.

Try to claybar to see if it works, if not try meguiars plastx next..if those don't work you'd probably have to wetsand/polish the headlights.

I think Stu is about ready to head out to Cali for school again. I don't think he'll have time....but I know Mackie is a good call.

If you've "melted it" with the goof off...then it might not clear up.....but if it's just on the very surface then I think you can wet sand it and have it buffed out.

Yeah only reason I didn't reply is because I am leaving Monday so I've been detailing my own car for the past 2 days and have to pack and finish tomorrow.

Send a picture to my phone and I'll see what I can do. 2148034474
I'm sick as a dog currently, but that's small enough that stu might be able to help you out before he leaves.
