Panasonic TX-47AS650B - Uneven Backlight Issue

[Deanmlee]

Hi. I have recently purchased a TX-42AS650B TV from Panasoinc outlet shop. I complained about the backlight being very uneven especially in the corners which were almost black at times on strong colours. They replaced the first screen, but the replacement, although an improvement was still I felt poor. They agreed to either replace with another model or refund, so I have now payed the extra for the 47" model. However this shows exactly the same uneven backlightling. Panasonic claim that this is normal and as I previously owned a Plasma TV i haven't got used to the picture yet, and have offered to refund me. I have had 2 other people look at the picture and they both agree with me. Before I return the TV for the refund, am I being too fussy? Have other people experienced this? There was no mention in any of the What HiFi reviews.

I would welcome peoples views on this, as I was expecting so much better. Also can anyone recomend a replacement TV.

Thanks,

Dean

It's very hard to come from a plasma to an LCD TV . What make and model was your plasma?

It was another Panasonic 37" I can't remember the model but it wasn't a very expensive one.

As mentioned, Samsung have excelled in overcoming backlight issues and have some of the most uniformly back-lit LED lit LCD screens in the market. Also look at Sony.
