After switching 2 different times Sony gave up on me and offered me a full refund, but I refused.

All 2006 X series are plagued by the "backlight clouding" effect.

Now my PS3 is getting some screen tearing error due to the scaler chip when watching DVDs in 1080p, I gave Sony a call and they told me to get a new TV....nice suggestion ey?

Sony's gone down the hill lately, people just don't realise that just because Sony is a well known brand, its products are surely sound....I'm sorry but that's not the case anymore.

My friend has an old non-1080p version of the Panasonic plasma and it reproduces exceptional images, that's how it got me into thinking that my next TV would be a plasma - now comes 1080p, the perfect choice.

Oh and David...I'm a drug dealer

A good mate of mine is a Senior techo at Channel 10. He knows TV's pretty well, and the current unit that is used by Channel 10 to monitor their Hi-Def signal is a Phillips CRT television - yep, a tube tele. He reckons that most plasmas and LCD are not worth jack, and won't be until they have a refresh rate of 100hz and at least 25,000:1 static contrast. Its difficult to get a good CRT these days, but if its good enough for a TV station to use to monitor a Hi-Def signal, the old Panasonic CRT will have to do for a few months yet...

The local HardlyNormal salesman told me last week that by the end of next year, you won't be able to buy a 50hz LCD or plasma, and its this 50hz refresh rate which causes a lot of the problems with the picture looking *fuzzy* for fast sports/action movies etc.
