I'm getting close to the point where I want to sell my Pana GT50.
There are a few reasons for this.
1. I'm totally fed with having to be careful which channels I watch. The Cricket World Cup is on Sky at the moment, but the bold logos, scores etc. are on the screen nearly all the time, and I noticed quite quickly that the images were being retained on the screen, so I've resulted to watching it with Zoom 3, so none of the bold images are on the screen. This is a ridiculous situation.
2. As Plasmas are not going to be made any more, there seems to be a good market for selling them, and I think I could get around £700 - £750 for mine.
The TV I'm considering as it's replacement is the Sony KD-L50W829, which is widely available at £599, and has great reviews. I know the picture won't quite be at my Panas level, but the benefits of not having to worry constantly about image retention outway the slightly reduced picture quality.
The main problem I have is the Pana still has the pink hue on the centre third of the screen, which is clearly visible on white backgrounds, or on black & white films.
So do I ring John Lewis, get the problem of the pink hue fixed, and then sell the tv for £750, keep £150, and spend the rest on the Sony. Or, do I ring JL, and explain the problem, explain that I'm not prepared to live with it anymore, and tell them that I'm prepared to do a straight swap with the Sony, and lose a bit of money for less hassle?
Any thoughts?
