Ian - they replaced the DVD drive, the HDMI socket and updated the player to 1.81. So far, no problems. What was the real cause of all the non playing discs ? Hard to tell but so far, all is golden. Interesting to hear SNS' experience.

Recruit - Im sure you'll be fine. If not, the turnaround time was only about 3 days, which I thought was very impressive indeed ! The 436 is a great panel and via HDMI, absolutely gorgeous. Scale that picture to 720p and sit back in awe. The 436 is really good on freeview, too.
