Ghosting on HD channel

[gazza1210]

Hi All,

I have bought the Telefunkem plasma 42" TPM-420C. If the set is left on all day then serious ghosting and "static speckles/bars" appear later at night - even on the DSTV HD channel.

Is the set worth trying to fix (was the last in the shop) or do I ask for cash refund... TOMORROW ID THE LAST DAY FOR CASH REFUND.

I paid R6700 so I would have to down grade in size to 32" for the same money.

Descisions, discisions?

Get your $ back. Then wait a bit longer and get a real make. No offence Telefunken used to be great when it was still German, like Blaupunkt, but nowadays it's cheap Chinese engineered and assembled knock off stuff and local stores may even do grey imports of B grade stock or their suppliers may be doing that - we're Africa after all. So avoid and get yourself a full HD 40 inch Samsung, Sony or something else (everything else is expensive though).

Thanks for the speedy reply... pretty much confirmed what I thought, pity though.
