Had a 506xde for 2 weeks now. When I first got it there was a pixel stuck on red, which Pioneer said was not a fault.(The manual says if it is visible from 2.5m contact your dealer). Luckily the store I bought it from agreed to replace it. I ran Nokia Monitor Test (free download-do a google) thru a laptop to check the pixels on the new one, and its 100%. Just to say I think the PQ is really excellent except from the odd weak sat channels. The only downside is that so much transmitted stuff still has bars at the top and bottom. My 37" 4:3 crt LOPT blew hence the new plasma, and I was expecting 16:9 broadcasts to be the norm now. As Im running it in Im zooming anything not full screen, and contrast is +10, brightness 0 and colour -10. A freaky thing happened after LOTR ended, as the final screen was on I stopped the dvd after maybe 10 seconds, but there was an after image of a shield left on the screen. After 20 mins it was still there, but when I changed to input1(sky) the afterimage wasnt there, but back on the component input it was. It was only after I powered the dvd player off for 10 mins that the image went.???
Anyway, this is just a recommendation for the 506xde and Hiway who I bought it from... And if anyone knows how to get into the hidden service menu I wouldnt mind a poke around in there too...
