Phil, Has the flicker ever effected you? what's you take on the issue? Do you know what causes it and if its rectifiable? Its quite well reported on this forum by many people, is there any reason its not mentioned more in reviews/tests? (other than the review not seeing it, but they should still be aware).
Seems to me that many reviewers seem to duck the issue. Its so bad, that if it effected everyone it would get terrible reviews and probably be unsellable.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this Phil
For people who don't see it, the whole screen (or large parts of it) flicker like an old CRT with a low refresh rate. If you have ever seen the way a CRT/PC monitor recorded on camera flickers, such as on TV, its like that.
It's for this reason i am unfortunately seriously thinking of switching to LCD now. My X10 does not flicker, but the juddery motion/panning shots are becoming unbearable (i would refer a slight blur/loss of resolution to the horrendous judder). I was hoping the G20 would be my next TV, but it seems that will be impossible.
