- Is this distortion present in the XBR^2 sets?
- One of my rationales for buying the XBR^2 instead of an
- equivalently priced 35" set was the better geometric
- performance (supposedly) of the smaller sets.
- Video magazine did a review of several 35" sets recently,
- and noted the excessive geometric distortion of the 35" sets
- in comparison to the 32" models.

- Are there any 32"-35" sets with better performance in this area?
