well good new and bad news for me. Its not the tv, but its not the newly added pellican switch. My receiver or one of the cables is adding the interfierence. No problems going from the dish network 722 directly into the tv with component. This is a bit annoying but only really annoying if i get interfierence on anything else i run through the receiver.

I am curious though as to why the receiver is affecting the signal/tv in this way. Never saw this issue with my older samsung dlp.

I am most likely going to switch this over to hdmi and test the other devices see if i have a greater problem with my receiver vs. The tv.

1) if you have a 600M and stand, how far is it from the bottom to the edge of the screen? my center channel is around 6" in height, and i'm curious to know if the 600M w/ stand sits too low - read a few posts earlier that suddenly had me wondering.

2) looking to move into new house at the end of this month, and i've read that there's been a lull in available 600M's due to the packaging (fiasco)... from the sound of it, new shipments should be made available soon - think i'll be okay in ordering one at the end of the month (28/29th of may)?

i've been following this thread for quite awhile, and it really does seem like the best 60" HDTV i can get for my 3k budget. thanks man!

do you mind sharing the actual settings of the 600m once you are done calibrating? thanks!

you can say that again. who ever thought they could get a 60" plasma for sub 3k in this day and age? much less a kuro!

The stand I have my eye on indicates the mounting brackets are up to 36 wide horizontally and up to 18 ¾ long vertically. I'm wondering if anyone knows if that will work?

Thanks much!

i'm keeping my options open, but i'm pretty much toggling between the samsung 58B860 and 600M at the moment.

still curious if there's enough room for a 6" center channel if i had the 600M on it's stand. hmmm.

You think you don't need it, but you really do. Pure mode on the 500/600m is good to have, very accurate colors, good for late night movies, but too dim for sports and daytime viewing. ISFccc gives you more and better options.

I have a 500m, couple of days ago I posted, for a few hundred bucks I wish I had gotten the 111.

...and I stand by that, if the difference between a 500m and 111 is $300-400, I would get the 111 every day of the week and twice on sunday.

To my eyes, the 6020 looks dim(actually dimmer than my 6070). I understand that the 151 can be made brighter via ISF menu calibration. Is the 600M the same as the 6020 in brightness?

just a question to throw out there. for those who are complaining about the dimness of pure mode,is your viewing area light controlled during the daytime. my viewing area is pretty well controlled without a single ray of sunlight or lamp lighting aiming at the screen. i have two windows on the side wall but the thick blinds pretty much block most of the light. will pure still be a problem?

I've never used my speakers from either Kuro 50". I've no idea how good/average/bad they sound, considering they are a stock display speaker.
