Thank you for those kind words as the administrative staff here try's their best so that everybody can express their opinion in a non-hostile environment.FoxyMulder said:I used to be a member of AVS, i am not anymore, i am a member of this site and HDTV Test, no trolls at these sites, indeed i find this site a pleasure to be a part of because members can actually have a discussion and not worry about getting hit by infractions and bans, same comment goes for HDTV Test. If i had known sooner about this site i would have joined sooner.
When you treat your members as adults they tend to behave like adults, that's getting off the subject matter but i love this site.

It is a morale booster to read comments like that. Many thanks, Malcolm!Robert Crawford said:Thank you for those kind words as the administrative staff here try's their best so that everybody can express their opinion in a non-hostile environment.

But I am kind of lost here, one minute you are saying there are Trolls on HDTVtest then you are quoting AVS. You have lost me.
This is not correct; there is still an issue with skipping (unrelated to what you're discussing) which we're investigating.For example in the article they say,
"intermittent frame skipping" anybody who own's this TV can tell you that this is a Bug and to fix this incorrect Film Cadence which is a result of switching the Film Mode on the fly, all you need to do is stop and restart the movie and proper smooth Film Cadence will be restored.
We haven't reviewed it since then. I'm still involved with checking performance, but that's all I can say.By your own admittance you have not tested this TV in nearly a year since your last review.
I'm not sure what you're advocating here - every time one display gets a firmware update, the manufacturers of other similar displays should ship their review samples back to us, at their expense, so we can re-review them, based on their competitors' movements?This is exactly why I bring this issue up because you are not doing an up to date fair comparison.
I think I suggested this some time ago but why not include the firmware revision in your reviews?David Mackenzie said:*ALL* TVs we review are fully calibrated and updated to the latest firmware available to us at the time of the review. The F8500 was also fully calibrated and running the latest firmware.
