- When will this review appear in TPV? You imply that it will be favorable,
- but with poor gray-scale tracking and an improper color temperature,
- this would appear to go against the "party line".
- (With regard to color temperature(s) on Sony products, the new 41 inch
- rear projection set is switchable from 10500 degrees to 8500 degrees.
- You might say that they're getting warmer ... .)
-
- Does TPV even have a reference direct view monitor these days?
- They did, at one time, recommend the Toshiba IDTV (3299), but this
- monitor is no longer sold by Toshiba.
