Cheers Phil

very professional as per usual.
Thanks for explaining "clearly" the faults with the XDE as it's sometimes hard to get the proper facts.....well done.

You know you're going to upset the Sony fanboys by saying the A786 has RGB LED's and DNLA don't you? lol

I thought it was confirmed that it had white LED's and no DNLA, if so sticker right the red, green and blue must be very very misleading... and will catch quite a few people out.

I also thinking this TV has white LEDs but I would be very happy if there were RGB LEDs.

Have anyone of you more information about the technique?

(Maybe the reporter has drinking to much German "Bier".

Was going on the information supplied on the stand (which is all you can do at these shows) if that is the case then apologies if I have quoted items that are not there, just using the specs supplied with each TV on the stand.
