Philips 30PW850H 30" Widescreen HDTV-Ready TV
Greens And Reds
This set has a great picture, using component cables, and a progressive scan DVD player. THE PROBLEM, and I saw a reviewer, Trent Duke, mention this... When using either component input, and especially when watching a black and white movie enhanced for 16:9 TVs, at least on mine, there is a reddish hue running across the top and bottom of the screen, with a larger green hue running across the middle. In color movies, this mostly just shows up on skin, or other light colors.  <br />I've called Phillips, but unlike other reviewers, I spoke to Americans, who were curtious, and tried to be helpful, though the problem is not yet solved. Phillips warranty requires that you have at least 3 different ASC repairmen attempt to fix your TV, before they'll send a replacement. So far, I've been to just one, but he tells me this is more of an assembly line type of thing, that could not be fixed, even if he replaced the tube. The TV works fine on the yellow AV video cord, with no noticeable green or red hues. But for an anal video and audio file like myself, I need to watch movies in the best possible quality. What troubled me, is that the repair, who seemed like knew what he was doing, said that most HDTVs have this kind of problem, and not to be suprised if a replacement TV will have this \\"missaligned purity problem\\" even worse.
