Well got my 436XDE today and I must say what a fantastic piece of kit, in my hurry to get it installed I forgot to take all the pictures I promised.
The only problem, the underside speaker I ordered never got delivered because they never had any, called Leconcepts and they said this speaker won't be in until the end of October as Pioneer didn't make enough to fulfil orders. So I opted for the side speakers which will be delivered tomorrow.
Still have to set it all up properly with the DVE disc I bought and have only played with it a bit. The kids and I watched The Magic Roundabout, superb, cannot fault the picture in anyway, blacks to me look, well, black, very black compared to my old Toshiba CRT. My Xbox via component also looks great although I'm having problems with the sound at the moment, have to do some more fiddling.
My only small gripe is that there is a quiet buzzing which increases when the picture gets brighter. When I first set it up, without everything else plugged in and the spagetti junction of cables criss crossing each other, there was no buzz, so I assume it's some sort of a shielding problem. I've some Merlin mains cables and a Wireworld ultraviolet cable coming tomorrow so I hope this may eliminate it, although listening now as I type, it's gone.
My son walked in from school, looked at the plasma and then went outside to play with his friends and I overheard him say " Daddy's put our tele higher up on the wall
