HI all.
I have been cursed with the purple snakes and green tinges on my 42PX60 and as such have contacted RS with regards to this.
Firstly I would like to commend RS on their service. I emailed highlighting the problem and informing them of increasing cases of this fault shown via this site and they have informed me that I have three options, without the need for an engineer to come out!!!!
The three options are:
1) Swap for another PX60 and hope for the best
2) Swap for the Hitachi PD9700 (an option I asked about)
3) Swap for another TV available through them.
I purchased at £1200 and only ones really available are the PX60(like for like model) and PD9700(like for like cost).
PX60: Risk of purple snakes and green tinge which seems increasingly more likely given that the newer sets are the most hard hit by this.
PD9700: Flickering and apparent contrast level changing (linked?) though have seen instructions on here that lessens/removes these issues.
My question is obvious at this point and is just calling on the the might that is the collective knowledge of the forum members, which set do I go for given my situation and options available? Is the slight loss of blacks (as stated by people here) that much from PX60 to PD9700?
Apologies for some similarity with other posts but I am looking for peoples sensible opinions on this esp as so many people still state go for PX60 even despite it's obvious and increasingly more common failings.
Many many thanks in advance.
Cheers
