Got a 28 inch 9617 from Hi Fi Confidential in Victoria London - see their ads in What tv and video mag - £979 inc stand. They delivered next day.
Verdict - after delaying buying a widescreen for nearly a year waiting for the right set - it's arrived and I feel smug... I can honestly say the picture is unlike anything I have ever seen. I work in TV and the picture is as good as that which I see on broadcast avids. Hooked up with my low end pioneer dvd 444 you can jump into the screen there is so much detail... Sound is strong - dolby digital clarity excellent. Minor problems - some artifacting on fast moving scenes where strong blacks move across white stripes (ie venetian blinds) and a tiny bit of curvature (geometry) top right. All very minor but I mention them so you don't think this is a pure plug. If you are in London go along to HiFi Confidentail and see the set next to a £1500 Tosh running dvd, and off air, and you'll be convinced...
