RE: Second 50GT50 buzzes with bright content.....how frustratin

 

DSE on GT50 number three. It looks a bit milder at the moment, but I thought that about GT50 number two and it became more visible after 150-200 hours use. I'll see how the latest replacement goes for a few weeks, but experience has taught me not to expect improvement.    

Unless it's absurdly expensive, my next TV's a Samsung 51F8500...

At this point I'm not even that annoyed. I had little hope my third GT50 would be better. A day's viewing confirmed what I expected.

I can see no point in arranging another replacement. I'll see what happens with this year's TVs in terms of pricing, availability and performance.

John Lewis gets the thumbs up again. Really courteous and helpful delivery drivers.

Is a green 'ish' tint to people faces bad or just a settings thing?

It's a settings thing, try Strapped's settings here http://www.whathifi.com/forum/tvs-and-projectors/for-bbb-gel-and-other-gt50-owners

doh! Sorry mate, thats not good news at all.  Out of interest which mode/calibration do you use?  Maybe its worse for some and not others because they are using a different setting?
