LCD blowing out whites and highlights...what is wrong? - Blu-ray Forum

I have a Westinghouse 1080p 37" set that is about a year old. Just the other day I noticed it started blowing out the highlights.

Anything white or bright has lost all detail. I went and checked all the settings and changed them around and tried resetting them but no matter what the brights are just too bright.

Did my set bite the dust? FYI all other colors and shows look fine but if you put white in the picture or anything really light colored say goodbye.

its been calibrated I have owned it but even when I change settings it still is bright...it used to be perfect

I just wonder if something breaks on them that causes this?
