Well, as some of you know, got my PV500 a couple of days ago and after reading the forums went looking for any faults etc. Well, after using the 'DVD Spectacular' disk saw the dreaded line dead centre as per other forum posts.
It isnt very easy to see with normal films, but seen on Ice Age and similar.
Well, decided that i would go to Watford today and visit the retailers with the PV500 and check myself.
Anyway:
Comet - Yes, line visible when using test disk
Currys - Yes, line visible when using test disk
John Lewis - Yes, line visible when using test disk.
Panasonic shop - At first i thought was not visible but having got the panasonic guy to rig up the dvd player using an RGB feed instead of basic scart settings, Yes, line visible. Although this was the least evident, but still visible.
They were all 42inch i tried. Had an interesting chat with the panasonic guy who didnt believe me till i put the disk on. He said he hadnt noticed it before and had no returns based on it.
Well, not sure what to do now. I have got a replacement coming next week for this one. From my test i am 100% sure that every set is the same!
Although with normal viewing unlikely to notice the line, especially if you sit more than 10ft away. Hope some of you find the survey useful. As it did take a lot of hastle getting the comet, currys to even rig up a dvd player!!!!
Cheers
