One other thing I have noticed with my new TV is when viewing pictures, it
looks fine. But, if a light image comes into the picture, the whole screen
seems to darken down a touch. Not a lot, but if you're watching a moving
picture where something light is coming in and out of the picture fast (Like
someone walking down a corridor), the whole screen has a slight flickering
effect. Also, pressing the TV info button, to get the information banner up,
the sane thing happens. Like I said, it's very slight, but once you notice
it, it's annoying! Any ideas? It's something I can easily live with, but
I've not seen it on previous TV's I've had in the past!

Sounds like normal LCD artifacting. LCD panels react slowly to rapid
changes in images and they have poor contrast ratio for moving images,
so they shift the center contrast point as scene content changes.

LCD panels are not the best for watching tv.

It sounds like it could be poor EHT regulation, which is rather common,
particularly on lower end CRT TVs. It's not a fault as such, more a sloppy
design. You'll probably have to live with it.

it really sounds like you're not happy with this.
its time to see if you can swap/refund or upgrade it to something
better. do they have one on display somewhere so you can see how
it runs?
