OK, so it was not really a tweak per say, but I did have the TV apart :-)
I have a TW40X81 and last night I decided to take the set apart and clean the mirror and CRT lenses. MAN what a difference.
I now want to add the duvatone (can't remember the product name) But I have a few concerns:
The inside of my cabinet is plastic, how do I attach the felt? and will it make that much of a difference?
I am also going to build the CRT hood.
I have only had the set for about a month and a half so I a total neophyte to all this.
The followig is a list of what I plan to do:
1. Line the inside of the cabinet with black felt
2. Build the CRT hood
3. Do a proper 64pt. convergence: measure so each square is perfect.
4. Disconnect SVM (tonight I hope)
5. Get the set ISF calibrated.
6. Make some popcorn and enjoy :-)
Any other ideas or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew McFarland

Be careful when working in the service menu and good luck.
Be careful not to restrict ventillation. John C. - Aussie 11:43:03 01/19/01 (1)
This will shorten the life of your unit dramatically so do not try to enclose the unit. The fan noise can bug you but the solution here works fine. As well as a hood open both ends (and side "windows" for air input) I put a baffle board behind the projector BUT allowed a good space for air flow first so there is a gap before the air hits the baffle board and cqan flow freely. I would not waste time with felt etc as it will do little to help with the noise and could impede air flow inside the cabinet. Our projector is a BARCO but the ideas above are universal.
