Sony KP51HW40 RPTV: Pinstriped reds? (1 Viewer)

A friend took me to Best Buy to look at RPTVs he was interested in. I was about to give my stamp of approval on a 51", 16:9 unit (KP51HW40), when I noticed what appeared to be vertical lines in any area of the image that contained red. Once I mentioned it, he noticed it too, and we didn't notice it in any other models.

Has anyone heard of this, and know what it may have been? I had a go at sharpness, brightness, contrast, and saturation to at least get the image so it didn't look like typical Best Buy displays, but it was still very evident after adjusting.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

- Eric

Eric,
I've looked at the Sony HW40 sets in Sears, BB, and CC, and own a KP57HW40. I've never seen the flaw you're describing, so it was probably just on that one individual set, or perhaps bad cabling to that particular set.
