He had a Samsung there previously which I saw, which was very nice... he dropped that.  ::)

So replaced it with a Pioneer, which i belive was set up right. It was fine for most things, but anything with a white background showed how poor its upscaling was.

You still get the best image on CRT's .....

50Hz CRTs, mine is still good even though it is 7 1/2 years old - I have used DVE to prove it.

Yours is not good. Unless it is never on.

100Hz is very good, just not Sony's implementation. Wega 50Hz has too much flicker to be any good.

ALl 100Hz TVs to me look a bit plasticky - anyway as  I told you before crank down the brightness and they last a LOT longer.

Turn down the brightness/contrast, the tube should last about 5 yrs.  With the Sony default setting, about 2 - 3 yrs is your lot...

Perhaps because 50Hz TVs are driven less hard they last longer!!!!
