I've changed bulbs and fans in this TV before, as well as cleaned it out, so I know my way around it. I just can't figure out what is making it so dim. I've researched ballast and light engine issues, but with no luck. I'm hoping someone here has some insight because usually I can fix this TV pretty easily. Any idea why it's so dim, and what can I do to fix it?

If your lamp was recently changed make sure the lamp timer was reset. If not that might fix the problem. Let us know if that helps.

I would definitely have the ballast looked at. I'm not sure how old the TV is but it's possible the ballast no longer puts out the voltage the lamp needs to work properly. That or the power supply might not be powering the ballast correctly.
