Well, basically, I'm one of those with major problems making my mind up Been looking for a new TV for 2 years and finally took the plunge with the PV600, mostly due to the extremly nice PQ even in the store. However, it's not particularly good on analog SD feed, I'm worried sick when looking at text and letter-box movies. Have a 4 year old DVD-player which aparently leaves a lot to wish for but that can and will be replaced anyway (tried a 2 year old Sony DVD player, bought at the time for about £130 with progressive comp output and my god it looked soooo sweet! Don't need HD when DVD looks this good). So problem is:
1. There's only an analog receiver, useless and the 2000 pages of text is thus also useless. Perhaps not an major issue, but a small thing that annoys me.
2. Wife needs to have the lights on, which makes the picture a bit dull, but I think it is solved once I turn brightness and contrast up from the 50% recommended for the first 200hours or so.
2. Fans are audiable, sitting about 2.5m from the set and when the house is quiet I can clearly hear them (with sound turned down to not wake "anyone" up). A bit of a problem since if theres not supposed to be any sound I want it quiet.
3. Same goes for a high-frequency noise which changes with the light of the picture, bright picture, more noise. This is really the major problem. It's sort of cuts in my head when I start to hear this noise.
So are these problems I will need to live with, or is there somthing wrong with my set? Been thinking of replacing it with a Philips CRT 9551 (at least HD-ready) for a couple of years and get something bigger when HD is a reality. But not sure, sort of got used to the size and with digital feed I expect it to be as with the progressiv DVD-player? I'm sure the CRT will look as good with DVD and digital SD, if nothing else it will at least do it due to a 12" smaller screen...... Why does it need to be so difficult making decisions? It is a lot of cash to part from as well....
