Got my new Tosh 32zp46 - some help pls

It arrived today, 2nd hand but still in good condition. Picture wise I was impressed initially - geometry is good, colours spot on - but there's a prob with progressive scan. The bottom right hand corner of the screen flickers very noticeably.

Any suggestions? Otherwise i'm very happy with the quality, but there's no way I could put up with this flicker.

Bloody annoying.

Anyone? - This seems like a fault to me, not something that can be fixed in the servoce menu.

Sorry to tell you, but mine doesn't do that.
I did, however, switch back to RGB cos the mrs couldn't get the hang of having to change the input to watch a disc, and I don't think there's a great deal of difference in picture quality anyway. You can play with the picture lots with the menus to get it how you want, and unless you're picky I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the picture quality from a decent source via RGB.

After some messing around - 480p via component with the 360 and GC have this flicker at the bottom right of the screen. Movies played on the 360 don't. I also tried an rgb cable with the 360 and noticed this problem with pal60 when progressive mode is on, but not with the others (natural, active, 100hz). There's no flicker with progressive mode at pal50 though.

Is it possible a tiny part of the secreen doesn't like progressive at 60hz? This seems to be the only time the problem crops up.

The area that flickers is only the size of your hand - but it's pretty bad (like someone's turning a light on and off really quickly)

Does this sound like something that can be fixed?
