I think the DPMS failed last night. 

On powering a PC off, it shows "No Signal" & is supposed to go to 
standby and then quickly to "Suspend" mode. It stuck on "Standby" with
the room lit by yellow LCD for 11 hours. Didn't used to do that.

Hmmm. What's the phone-number of a certain NZ person ?

Don't worry :^)
They do give the best picture by far and I've just been reading how
818ukp (1000ukp inc) Sony 17se's have been turning-up with worse problems.


As someone said, I've been made Idek-1996 model Beta tester (!)

o There are new 17" & 21" models due in August, which use surface-mounted
  electronics, and the 17" unit is slightly shallower. Tubes are the same.
  ... With one difference, they aren't like this one!

  Next week, Idek are collecting this & tuning one "to my taste".


! Just a thought. The Idek has an anti-reflective coating.
  What is the surface supposed to be like? 
  (Can't recall what others were like, yes I know it's not etched).
