Now I am wondering if I should just get the 650...since it's not about $500 less than the 750 at Big River. Haven't had a chance to even open my 750 yet. Decions, decision...

The outer bezel edge would be green and red respectively depending on the colors of the screen outer most pixels on the screen, follow me? The Bezel is a thick piece of either glass or composite. Id assume if you take any piece of glass and shine a light down the edge it would run through it to the other side and display the same situation. covering up the outer edge did nothing to fix the issue, the only complete way I found to fix it was at the source(inner edge) or tilting the screen, but tilting it only fixed one edge at a time --top or bottom, if you tilt enough for the top to go away then the bottom is still reflecting.

Thank you for the replies. So it seems there's two things going on here.

A Halo type glow which is caused by light from the screen leaking through a gap between the inner edge of the bezel and the screen itself and travelling to the edge.

There's also the refraction of surrounding light at the bezel edges giving the prism / rainbow effect.

Blimey. Still hasn't put me off, but I hope it doesn't prove too distracting.



It's a shame they sacrificed the screen size button (presumably for access to the media features).

I don't know what the situation is with you guys in the US, but over here in England we still have many programmes broadcast in 4:3 aspect ratio rather than widescreen 16:9 (or the wide movie ratios).

As a result I regularly use the screen size button on my current Samsung LCD to get the correct ratios displayed.

I am watching Law and Order on NBC HD and in the initial set up, the pq is not as good as my old Sony. Now some commercials and the cable box set up guide are brighter and clearer so I don't know why the 1080i NBC isn't as good looking. I have to goto work so I won't be able to do more set up or tweaking until tonight.

I am interested to see the set in my local B&M when they have it setup.

Does the menu selection for setting the TruSurround stick if you turn the TV off, or do you need to go back to the menu each time you turn off the set to re-enable TruSurround?

Halo effect and reflection are not defects, every buyer has there person taste on each so called defect. I have been thinking bout buying this tv at circuit city for some time now but have not really heard or seen any persuasive evidence that it is worth all the hype over the 650 series. No one seems to be willing to start a thread even with several ppl currently owning the set on the forums...so obviously there is no dedication just a lot of hit and runners. if i decide to buy one locally maybe this weekend i will step up to the plate and start an owners post so others can have an idea of what this tv has to offer over other models. I too have my quirks about the tv especially with the non swivelling stand, but why does Big River and Circuit City advertise swivelling stand...that makes me so confused. hopefully someone will confirm that there is absolutely no swivelling stands for this set...just my ten cents

Does it not work (unfortunately)?
