Just noticed that this Power on lite..the irritating one right below the middle of the screen is emitting lite inside the box. Right after start up this light brightens the screen significantly. FYI..another source of unwanted lite to hinder picture quality. Hitachi should have caught this and...

Any info on this specific model would be appreciated. I ordered a manual on CD..but it will be a few daze before it shows....Will removing the screen justify keeping this unit instead of replacing it with a 57X500...reflection is my main concern with this TV...My older CU4600B has no...
