Cheers. These short videos are a nice little addition to the more in-depth text review.

A quick question Phil, in the review for the 3000 you said:

Quote:
I ran quite a few tests going through each setting and from a normal seating distance of 1.5 x Screen width; any loss of brightness or increase in pixilation was never an issue. Indeed, even sitting closer than this did not present me with any visible screen structure issues. It wasn’t until I got to about 1 foot from the screen did I see any pixels and even then, I was looking extremely hard (it is a 1920 x1080 native display and also has a screen smoothing technology on board.)
Is this still the case with the 4000? Indeed, is the new model any better?

That being the case I'm amazed other manufacturers haven't added this feature. It'd be great for CIH, and fantastic for CIA.
