Hi all, went for a demo of the Philips Monroe in John Lewis at Bluewater Essex this morning. Not A very successful demo, firstly I asked if the lights could be switched off in the demo room, but was told by the assistant that this was not possible, secondly I asked to see a dvd played, unfortunately they had lost the remote for the dvd play so I could only see the contents page of their demo dvd.

With all this aside I was still impressed with this PJ, I could not detect any screen door, the fan noise was almost non existent, the picture was pin sharp with no evidence of noise and from what I saw of it the colours were quite natural looking. I am unable to comment on the black level due to the lighting conditions although I did notice that the brightness and contrast levels were set quite high and the picture was still acceptable. I had a look at the Sony HS1 while I was there, but I was not impressed at all with it, even my kids noticed the difference. They are both priced at £1995 (not the kids the PJ's) they do offer a price promise against other shops but not internet shops. They said it would be 2-3 weeks for them to get one for me.

On the plus side they will allow you to check for dead pixels before you part with your hard earned cash.

I am going to shop round to find the best price, does any one know of any other shops that sell this PJ. Thanks
