Hi, Saw your notes about the LG DLP 300Hz TV. I have one so I thought I would add a bit of info as well. In all its been great - about 12 months old. However, just recently it has deveolped dark shading on both sides when in wide screen mode. After speaking with the LG service agent there seems to be a problem with the light tube, something that LG are aware of. Apparently the lamp is in very close proximity to the light tube and the glue that they use in the construction of this tube tends to melt and the result is developing dark permanent shadows down each side. This not uncommon. Anyway they have taken my TV away for repair and the technician tells me he currently has 3 in the shop waiting for new light tubes.So, it seems that there are some issue with this type of set. In addition I believe there is a problem with the lamp life. Originally LG stated 10,000 hours in their literature. This has now been revised to 8000 hrs, yet after I have investigated this some of these lamps have only lasted 3 month or so, which incidentally is LG's warranty for the lamp. So, here we have a lamp that is purported to be able to cope with 8-10K hrs yet can fall over within 3 months after which it will cost you around AU$500.00 Good luck wth your set
