This sounds exactly like the infamous Sony flicker caused by defective CRT's. In the case of Sony the impregnated cathode detached causing fluctuations in the grid voltage. This caused the grayscale to flicker green or red depending on which CRT was defective.

I also had a long search for U-571 and found it at DVDPlanet. One vendor said "This title is no longer available"

Hey only two days until Gregg does his thing with my new Sony KP-65WV700. I wasn't expecting to have the set ISF'd for about a year. I figured it would take that long for a quality ISF tech to come to Vegas. Looking forward to the experience Gregg!

I have the KP-65WV700 and the stability of convergence is amazing. I did two very slight touch-ups of convergence in the first week. In the last 1.5 weeks no convergence necessary. Something must be wrong with the set.

Donnie, I should be able to tell you about the KP-65WV700 when it is delivered tomorrow night.

Nice HT! You are helping our economy recover very nicely. I think you deserve it after undergoing the trauma of moving;)

Also if you buy the WV700, Sony will throw in a free mail-in offer for a DSC-P31 digital camera.

There aren't many differences. The WV700 has a better screen. The Uniform Brightness ScreenTM http://news.sel.sony.com/pressrelease/2022 I am expecting delivery of a KP-65WV700 on Tuesday.

Yeah, they had better not stop showing those movie trailers! Even Pluto Nash looks good:)
