The salesman was sort of right. Shops tend to have harsh, over-bright lighting, and they tend to overpower the brightness to compensate. Your own lighting will be different, and your results will be different. You'll probably love the results even more though.

Don't know what warranty my Pioneer came with. I didn't pay attention - I was more interested in how much the shop had fleeced me by. Still, other than the money I don't reget it and its been faultless. Mind you, it gets very light use - the last few days have seen the most use its had in months.

Mine had gone up over £200 (on the web site) and when I got to the till I mentioned that they still had the tag on it, unchanged. The guy said he'd stated the lower price anyway when we'd spoken a couple of weeks ago, and let it go through for the lower price thankfully

Can't believe the price of the stand and soundbar as well on other sites - they cost me much less.

You do realise that makes me feel even more

How do you think I feel now that the Government have just cut VAT by 2.5%? OK, it's only £60 but that's a good meal for two up here in the North

Karma.

Though that would require re-pricing, at which point that £200 you mentioned gets dumped on top before the VAT comes off. You're still £135 in profit compared to that.

New TV was delivered today - looks great, just watched Wall-E (my first Blu-Ray). Fantastic movie, amazing picture

The HD is jaw-dropping but it's then that much harder to go back to ordinary freeview/NTL cable and analogue TV is pretty awful TBH.

Paranoid about the screen burn though and I now notice all the channel logos, stationary text, banners, etc. Won't be using the PS3 until the screen's had chance to "burn-in".

You're way too paranoid about this

I just asked a question on AVForums (finally got my registration completed) to that very end

The screen looks MASSIVE!

I suspect that may be something to with the fact it is massive
