I worry when I see your posts. Maybe you and technology are not mutually compatible?

That may sound harsh but....


At 61 words really do not bother me, so no offence taken, because I do agree with you I am rapidly becoming a technophobe [if that's a word]. But I can muddle through with a PC, a mobile phone and usually work the Tv out. But, 2 marriages 2 kids and I still cannot understand women!! Now where's my zimmerframe.
As to the TV I am hoping that I can get them to send a tech. out to it!!

What are you using for your source; Freeview? Sky+?

Make sure your output settings on the STB are set to 'Widescreen/16:9'.

And how are you connecting it? Does it do it on DVDs/PC linked up?

If so ISF calibration would be able to improve this, but thats expensive and you may as well send it back if its a genuine fault on the panel.

I put the cd into the pc for the Manuel which is far better than the book. But the controls for altering the screen size do not work.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me. In the screen menu the only function that is not greyed out is ARC is that the same on yours.

Alas its going back. Now the wife does not want to lose it! But i am assured they have further stock coming in on the 9th Today.
Not looking forward to wrapping and boxiong this thing up.

I will keep you informed. But for others the picture is great and the sounds OK too.

Can anybody confirm if this comes with the stand? thanks

It comes with A stand, which is integral to the screen You have to take this off if you want to wall mount or otherwise put the screen on an equipment stand. I got a good one from Ikea, which houses all the gear and the screen stands on top - looking quite gorgeous I must say:D

I am surprised this thread has ended so quickly.
Those who have one, how are you getting on with it?
No problems to report?
Mine, alas goes back today on an exchange but the tech bods have to check it first in France! So can take up to three weeks to replace!! Which is no good to me whats so ever as I am away for 5 weeks from March 3rd.
Will keep all informed of developments

Mine arrived yesterday from Paris to me here in the Costa Del Sol........took a week tho!.........was not dispatched until last thursday,bought and paid for on monday..........so 7 days..........seems like very good value for money..if you dont need HD.......the table top stand is pre attached and you just fold it under and across to click it in place,it is removable for wall mounting...now back in stock at the same price....thanks to the op......well pleased

1stly sorry about the lack of grammar in this late nite mail, been trying for 2 hours to get this tv to work

Ordered this...& the Samsung hd860

Managed to get up in the loft...took 3 of us.

Anyway..got it connected via hdmi


picture distorted & went glowy...kinda showing the logo
turned it self off a few times thought nothing of it

well thought it was something to do with the euro plug adaptor

watched 20mins of 24 on divX

unplugged dvd took downstairs & made muti region with hack

plugged back in & picture still ditorted and glowy....turns itself off


unplugged hdmi & tried to connect via scart....

same thing still ditorted and glowy....turns itself off



any ideas ?


anyone think it could have a lot to do with the frenchplug thing,
i did try the travel adaptor i bought for a second hd860...same thing


only i heard Plasma are very big users of power so maybe...



do i call local richer sounds to get there a/v man round to have a look
maybe £30


hope my mates will be able to takedown from loft and pack back & return asap...£30

cheers readers.

Here in spain i use those traval adapter plugs all the time....just the simple ones tho,the type you get in poundland at 2 for a pound,never ever seen a problem caused by these plugs,kettles,toasters,grills,tvs sky digiboxes these are high power drain appliances and the plugs are fine.Did you just try the tv alone,without any dvd,video,and suchlike attached,if so it seems the tv has a problem.................hope it all gets sorted to your satisfaction....brian
