GWII arrived from CC few days ago. I have done AVIA and basic (non service mode) UMR tweaks.
Overall initial impression: looks good, but I have extremely high expectations... hence this thread...
Main issues: On cable -color balance seems a bit off- either too green or red, depending on analog cable channel (likely a cable thing) -and havent watched enough dvds to comment on. Also, color seems a bit washed out- for lack of better description -somewhat dark overall- maybe greyscales?
While watching 4:3 material, there is obvious pincushion effect on vertical bars. Also, on horizontal bars (non 16x9 dvds) a little fall off of geometry near edges is evident. Without the convergence controls of my previous Toshiba 40H80 (which needed constant adjustment) I am a bit at a loss...Suggested tweaks to correct?
One bright red pixel is visible from 9 ft. is an issue (with dozens more up close- not an issue).
Anyway, my $.02.
Comments welcome and thanks to all for advice (esp. regarding pricing ;o)
PS - Anyone know of an extended warranty that will cover bulb replacement?
