Just got my PV500 yesterday and guess what, can see the horizontal line, dead centre. I FEEL SICK! not sure what to do. You cant see it 95% of time when viewing nearly all dvds, sky tv etc or even static menus really. I found it when looking at a test pattern on a setup disk. Interestingly you can not see it on each of the patterns! black and white patterns various types CAN NOT see it.
Can however see it perfectly when using a 5 colour VERTICAL bar pattern.
Before everyone sais who cares because can see it on test pattern, i can see it on light blues such as sea. E.g FInding Nemo. I am not compulsive viewer of test patterns, was only trying to set it up properly.
As others have mentioned on other comments about the line, is it on every PV500? (Even if it doesnt bother you at all, doesnt effect you at all etc., is it evident on a multi colour Vertical test pattern? )
If it is, then fine i can accept it as a design fault and live with it. If not i would like to get a replacement. I just dont want to go through that if it is the same on all and is part of the design. I know lots of people have said no cant see it, but i dont think you were actively looking for it?
Anyway, any views greatly appreciated. Ps it was from the latest John Lewis Batch. It does also buzz but expect that to be the case.
Thanks
