watching cracker right now...and its finished.right now..lol
Erm from what i saw ,hard to say it looked like a grainy filter had been used on it anyway but i couldnt really see ghosting.Ghosting is a big thing for me..I got a projector once a DLP one and some people cant watch them due to a rainbow effect from the way they work,not veryone can see them ....but I could! gutted, so now im watching my tv for flaws,not found any ....yet!

edit...I have my noise filter set to high, menu/picture/ other settings

I guess people can get quite fussy.I mean im upgrading from a philips 21" crt and freeview on that goes a little mosaic sometimes so i think i will just be impressed to hell withthis tv.
Its not as if ive ever had a £2000 tv to compare....lol

Insane,
I just realised that even tho i switched to using the Red green and blue composite on the xbox360 with this TV, I had not changed the display settings on the Xbox itself .I set it to 1080i my god! erm hello I feel like ive ad laser sudery on my eys, its a whole new world! currently set it to 720i as im not sure what one to set it on, still AMAZING !
Im a bit disapointed that im still !!!!!! at driving games tho :O)

ill be up all night now!

The warranty is for 12 months only, I confirmed it with the manager yesterday. You have to ring a number provided at sale (Woolworths technical help) and they will talk you through whatever has to be done i.e. returns/fixing etc.

The brightness isn't brilliant to be honest. I watched Rebus last night via sky+ and although Rebus is a dark shot programme it was a good test. It handled the programme well but in a couple of parts I felt it a little too dark and I had brightness full. It gets dark rather quickly with contrast low too.

Colour is amazing to be fair and there is pixelation when you are close to the tv i.e. within 5 feet but once you are sitting back the tv is excellent.

Think 720p is the best myself. Most people use 720p or 1080i.

i just ordered and the email i got back

Expected Delivery 30-Sep-2007 !!!!!! ?

I just ordered as well for a store collection and found the same:

the website says: 'collect in store: Product due for delivery 25 October 2006'

but the email order confirmation states: 'Expected Delivery: 02-Oct-2007'

I thought it could just be that the store currently has them in stock and they will reserve one for me - rather than shipping one to the store from the warehouse - and have just screwed up the delivery year.

Have you heard any more about when you will actually receive yours?

Whats this quidico thing then? I saw the tele in the woolies today - bit worried about only 1 yr warranty though - Interested in hearing about this £20 extra saving though please!

There are cashback sites where u get money if u purchase from sites but get to that site via their referral scheme

I used to use linemypocket, but quidco offer better cashbacks (100% I think). But then they do take £5 admin fee after a year and every year after that
Taken from their site

"The £5 admin fee is never charged, but only deducted when a user has earned enough to cover it. It is deducted annually based on your registration date (and is only deducted from transactions made from that date). It will always be deducted from the first £5 earned in each year of your membership.

The yearly £5 user fee deducted from the payouts is the only thing that keeps our site going. Other cashback sites take a large cut from their users' commissions to fuel their incentive programs.

It is our hope that receiving 100% of the commissions on your purchases back is incentive enough to tell your friends and family and help them save"

But cant complain, linemypocket offer 2.5% only, quidco offer 5% therefore u already covered the cost of that £5

go to http://www.quidco.com
and make more savings!!!

PS I took out new car insurance back in July with Prudential. Did u know they offer £100 cashback? nice for me!!!
Linemypocket offer only £50, so all that time I used to use linemypocket, I could of made more savings had I used quidco.

I forgot to say, I purchased using my Barclays connect card. I have platinum banking, which I offers 2 years free extended warranty.
Once I get my tele, I will phone Barclays. I believe that is still a feature of platinum banking.
Note, u dont need lots of money to have a account, just taking out different stuff from barclays.
