Yes, it's from my 55". As I said the Astro PQ looks OK to me also as the Resolution+ feature is also subject to the quality of the input SD source where it will improve the PQ to the certain extend.  wink.gif

A SA managed to demonstrate to me some screen uniformity problems at the edges. In your opinion, since you own a 55" unit, is the non-uniformity very obvious?

Honestly I didn't really notice any scren uniformity from my set. Do you mean when the screen is in black when no signal received or when there is a image displayed on the screen ?

The SA asked to me focus on the running text at the bottom of the screen, and I noticed the characters grew bigger as they got nearer to the left edge. So, the screen must be not perfectly uniform because of the different in sizes of the characters.

Wah...your SA so honest with you  laugh.gif . Hard to find now with such a honest SA  thumbup.gif

Never had a chance to see those running text at the bottom of the screen....hhmmm..where can I find such Astro channel or movies with running text at the bottom so that I could monitor it myself ?  hmm.gif

Most of the time my focus is on center of the screen and didn't really pay a particular attention to the screen edges...hey who the hell will keep looking at the edges when watching a TV, right ?  tongue.gif  I will check it out tonite to see if I could spot it on my set or not  hmm.gif

The SA was pushing some other brand, when I'm more interested in this model. So, he showed me all the weaknesses of this model, such as cannot play video with its built-in media player and bluriness when playing SD souces with motion.

Many news channels have scrolling right to left text - TV1, TV2, TV3, NTV7, 8TV, CNN, Bloomberg etc.

Even though I didn't spend too much time watching it, I think it's probably not easy to detect screen non-uniformity when viewing movies.

Since you own a unit, it's probably easier for you to detect it.

No wonder lah  doh.gif Where on earth got so honest SA to tell you all the fault of the product

I've just checked on my tv no the channel BRTV as well as ESPN where they show the scrolling at the bottom and seriously I didn't notice any change in the text size scrolling right to left even stand close to the tv. I've even asked my wife and she also said didn't see any changes at all on the text size, so I guess my tv got no such issue  rclxms.gif
The model that I was shown was the 47ZV600E, and I did saw the change in size in the text, which was not very obvious in the first place. That's why I asked you about your set, since yours is 55".

i think it's not the tv issue... it's how the tv stretch the 4:3 screen to fit the 16:9 display... there are few ways of doing this...

1. simply stretch the 4:3 input to 16:9 with same ratio through out... so the picture will look a little bit like 'kembang'... ppl will look like short and fat... but u'll still get full screen...

2. stretch the 4:3 input to fit the left and right... but the top is also stretch a bit so that the picture won;t look so 'kembang'... picture looks ok but then u'll lose a little bit of top and bottom picture...

3. stretch the 4:3 input to left and right same as no. 1... but... stretch the left and right more than the middle... so that the picture in the middle of the screen is not so kembang.. but the left and right will be a little bit extra kembang than no 1 above...

so.. when used no. 3... the scrolling text at the left and right will look bigger than middle... nothing to do with the tv itslef... but the option to fit the 4:3 to 16:9... ask the salesman to change to 4:3 with black bars on left and right... sure ok wan..

err... if u can;t understand what i;m trying to say.. later i'll find a picture to show how it's done.. normally it's it the tv user manual... rite now need to go for meeting..

Your reasoning is very good. But there's a problem - if there are black bars on the sides, there's no way to find out if the screen is totally uniform, isn't it?
