don't worry about wasting our time!! if there is a problem no matter how big or small we want to know about it!!
That would be very helpful to see if there are any differences that might suggest a batch defect etc.. I assume HL panels are sourced from Poland too? (Serial Number WR) but bear in mind we in the UK have DVBT2 TV's which are (only slightly) different anyway I think? If you could PM me your TV's serial number and firmware version I will pass it on as a GOOD set!!

The other day you mentioned about one of your engineers coming out rather than contracted engineers. How do we make sure we get a proper engineer out rather than a contracted one?
I'd love to but do not have the possibility to PM somehow...

zAndy1 said:This has been on my mind a bit tonight as well, I don't know whether it's improved or what but the banding/DSE doesn't look as bad as it used to I'm sure, having said that it's still there and I still notice it so I think it's worth getting an opinion and the new firmware to see if it helps. I just hope when the engineer shows up and I show the 'problem' I don't get a look as if to say 'is that it'.
Awaiting a phone call from the engineer I think now to arrange a time , can only get time off work on Weds or Thurs next week so hope that's convenient
Be interested to hear if anyone else is due a visit / new firmware before me?
Cheers
Andy
Think I'm only down rd from you mate, be handy if engineer could pop to mine after your visit lol
I have no dse on my latest set. Didn't have it on first one either, only on second. Vertical banding has been on all 3 but worst on second one.

I searched this thread but cannot find it:
is it possible to make this tv switch to a certain hdmi on startup?
I have my cable-decoder for example on hdmi1 and want this tv to startup with hdmi1 (to make it girlfriend-friendly)
I dont own this tv (yet), still deciding between this and D7000/D8000 or Philips 47PFL7606 (or x others)
Engineer been out. Confirmed banding problem but before they arrived found what can only be described as dents on the bevel on bottom edge nearest acreen. So refused repair. They told me tv needs replacing. And confirmed hopefully banding fix via f/wr
Hmmm just had a call from the repair centre and apparently a new panel is being ordered now, gonna ring me when it comes in but might be a week. I'm worried now cos in all other respects my current one is fine and I don't want to end up with something worse, also what happened to the firmware fix, I did ask but he just said it might need a firmeare update as well....
Well I guess we'll see what happens...at least LG are dealing with it and not Currys
Morning Andy,
I dont want to speak out of turn here but it seems to me that LG arrange to do Something direct with the Owner then when its Passed over to the 'Approved LG Repairer' they seem to want to do what suits themselves rather than sticking to the original Plan ??.
I have seen this on several occasions now and i can understand your concern about Panel changing,
I my opinion having the Panel changed is going to do Nothing for this Banding that a lot of you are getting.
I think it would be better if LG had 'Official' Repairers that Stick to the OE Plans .
Cheers.
A feeling of Déjà vu in the air.....

Wonder of I'm going to be the first one to get this new firmware then, quite exciting lol
