So I've had my set for a few weeks now and am chuffed to bits with it. Everyone who sees it wants one!
My main beef is the smudges on the screen; these are quite bad in the morning but only very noticeable on white backgrounds. Now I've read all these different conspiracy theories about delamination, the two screens sticking together, condensation... etc and after seeing the problem for myself I am almost 100% sure its all cobblers!!!
The smudges appear (and I have tested this a few times now) when static builds up in the screen. Static seems to be at its peak in the mornings I think, probably something to do with the screen cooling and contracting slightly over night. Now what the actual marks are caused by I think is the static causing the inner screen to flex inward (I am only talking minute amounts here) causing a kind of shadowy mark. If you press on the screen you will see the mark disappear.
Now the remedy - so far wiping away does work, but not for the reasons most think. Everything else such as hairdryers is again cobblers. If you gently wipe a soft COTTON cloth (any nylon will create more static) over the whole screen you will hear the static charges dissipating. After a good wipe in the morning , do a before and after, you will notice the smudges to be much fainter, and within 10mins completely gone !
If anyone else has any other findings and tips on this issue I would be interested to hear your views.
Also for testing its worth accessing the Sky Interactive menu as it flashes up a pure white screen just after the loading where you can use the still picture to freeze it there and experiment!
