Hi Damon,
Thats great info mate thanks,
I would just say tho that I had no idea about any 200 hour run in time until
this morning, I do now of course understand but before had no idea at all,
The shop were ok about it appart from they said I should have lowered the
contrast, problem is again nobody bothered to tell me that,
What firmware do you have and how is it updated ?
Mine is an October build
Cheers Jules
