In Reply to: RE: New TV: Take 2 posted by Alex F. on August 29, 2014 at 12:58:08
Saw there three TV's of that line, including the 70" in a pretty dim room. It just so happened, that it had the menu screen ON, with black background, so I sat there, looking for "white lightnings" - but could not see any anomalies.
I then looked at two other sizes, and nothing there either.
Who knows, if I sat in a totally dark room, staring at black screen, and took a time exposure, it might have shown something there... Hey, I am sure the WILL be some non-uniformity to such a large screen, but for all I can tell, for any normal viewing it should not be an issue...
That's for the sample of three! :-)

Taking a time-exposure photograph to check screen uniformity--that is very funny. I am laughing while I type.
Assuming you're making a purchase at a store that allows returns and refunds, you do not have to worry, of course, if the TV is not to your liking when viewed at home. In late 2012 I returned an 82" Mitsubishi DLP that seemed fine in our local Best Buy store. But at home we noticed a huge amount of grain in the picture. We now use a final-generation Panasonic 65" plasma in our theater room. My wife says watching Blu-ray films on the TV is like looking through a clean window. She may be exaggerating a bit, but it does have a superb picture.
One of my favorite movies, "2001: A Space Odyssey," provides a good test for light bleed and black levels. Kubrick's shots of outer space can be quite revealing of deficiencies. Also, the scenes inside the caves at the beginning of the film are good for checking details in the dim lighting. The best part, though, is enjoying a terrific movie.
Yes, we bought it at Best Buy, so we can return it, but if it is anything like the store demo, there should not be any issues with it. Being a long time LP listener, I can listen through noises, and as soon as I get absorbed in the movie I don't pay attention to the minor screen imperfections. And the whole idea of watching a movie is to "flow" with it, not sit there with your sphincter tight, looking for trouble spots. Mind you - our current plasma has plenty of them, but they don't bother me. Nothing is ever perfect under the Moon... I am not even perfect myself! :-)
Thank you for reminding me of 2001, I will put it on my list.
