Having thought long and hard about the 32PB50, I (and mainly the wife!!) decided that we didn't really need to spend £1300 on a tv so I plumped for going for a TX32PL1.
I know there have been some probs, but out of blind faith and stupidity I ordered one from Empire Direct and it arrived yesterday.
I have a blueish part of a circle on the right hand side about 3 inches in and 3-4 inches long, and less noticable as their closer to the edge, longer sides of the circle on the left hand side.
I am not that impressed with the picture, but whatever is causing the circle may be having an effect on it overall.
I have removed videos, scart connections, tried input from cable and RF, all make no difference.
I have just contacted Empire who said an engineer will have to come and verify before they will exchange. I can see this one going on weeks!!
There was a time when tv,s were 21,25 or if you were loaded 28 inch and nobody that I know had a problem with them.
What has happened to technology that nobody it seems can make a widescreen tv without a fault now??
