2 pin German kettle lead, easily swapped out for a Irish 3 pin kettle lead, I guess u could use the one they sent and install your own 3 pin, but its easier to buy a new one.

edit : Got scart working ( No idea what I was doing yesterday ).
But a serious thing I have noticed on scart and composite from x360 is that when it shows alot of white the screen can flicker black. Very off putting.

Got the TV last week and have been watching sport non-stop all weekend! more than happy with the picture quality etc, but i have noticed the porblem you spotted too Smoggy.

I am only using the TV with Sky at the moment. During sports, when they "flash" up some stats, the screen goes black for a second and then i get the "Satellite AV2" indication on screen when the picture returns. I assume this is also due to the white "flash" shy uses before the stats come up. I was wondering if you found a way to prevent this happening. I have still to open the manual, so i will take a look at it tonight.

One other question to anyone with sky - i have a problem with the display on RTE1 and 2 only. They will not size to fit my screen (even when i tried all options - 16:9, 4:3, wide, zoom, super wide). Is this an issue with the feed from RTE and is there a solution. I do not have this problem on any of the other 700 channels !

Ok. I fixed the display size problem - just changed the Sky menu to 16:9 - dont know how i didnt think of that earlier !

BUT - the original problem is still there!! I notice that when there is alot of blue or green on the screen (such as the snooker) the signal is lost. I also noitice that it seems to depend of which camera RTE are using - i have watched several programs where the signal is lost completely when they switch to a certain camera angle. I have a black screen with the No signal message up but can still hear the sound.

This is very annoying problem - so if anyone has a Samsung LCD and knows how to fix it id appreciate your help.

Well, I just received my new plasma from Technikdirekt.de and I can report a faultless transaction - ordered 5 days ago on-line with credit card (got discount due to price-match offer), TV sent the following day, courier called me up yesterday to tell me he was about to deliver, wife was at home to recieve it (handy!), large box dropped into hallway in perfect nick, all intact.

So after saving around €300, the TV arrived quicker and cheaper than it would have done if I had sourced it in Dublin (I'm in Galway).

Happy camper!

Panasonic TH-42 PV 71 F 42" plasma (similar to the PX70 UK/Irish model, no digital tuner but that's no good here anyhow) for €1299 - good display, better than LCD for Sky SD, also v. nice for upscaled DVD's.

Good Boy · 17-05-2007 02:30PM

Thanks starman sounds good.
Do you have cable and if so how do you rate picture?

Regards

Good Boy

starman100 · 20-05-2007 05:21PM

I have Sky+ (SD) connected via a good quality scart cable and picture quality is excellent after about 20 hours (was a bit noisy to begin with).

Waesfjord · 20-05-2007 10:36PM

i've the pv71. pic is good with NTL digital on standard (cheap) scart - can only get better when I get a decent scart.

Mixie · 23-05-2007 09:35AM

Just posting to give TechnikDirekt my thumbs up too - 7 (working) days from order to my door, and it arrived without so much as a scuff on the box.

damoz · 23-05-2007 05:00PM

I agree - no issues whatsoever with Technikdirekt. Still have an issue with Samsung screen flicker though as described above.

From reading the last few posts, just wondering aloud is a new SCART (good quality one) might fix my problem? Any thoughts?

TakeTheVeil · 04-06-2007 06:29PM

ok, i just ordered a Panasonic TH-37 PV 71 from technikdirekt.de
I was holding out for the 700E but two tv's went out in my house within a week of each other after 10 long years of noble service so i decided to buy now, upgrade later. How long of a wait am i looking for shipping? Ordered it at 5.30 today (Monday) so is there any chance ill have it by friday for the weekend? or am i looking at monday onwards?

Made attempts to purchase the same T.V. over the weekend - they e-mailed me back stating they do not deliver to Ireland.

Waesfjord · 16-10-2007 06:45PM

they definitely did deliver as a few of us got one from there.

did you call them by phone or email them or just reading their website?

Snake Plisken · 17-10-2007 06:55PM

Yep I got a 42" Panny from them a few months back and no notice on their site to say they won't. Its a standard 80 Euros for delivery read about it here http://www.technikdirekt.de/main/en/page-drxi7c5v/page.html?fillspace=1&language=en&

Dear Mr Graham,

Hi,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I would like to purchase the T.V. for €944 (€864 + €80).

What do you mean by "Please note though that we cannot arrange deliveries of
large appliances to Ireland" -

Does this mean I am unable to purchase the item or will the item be
delivered to Ireland and I will have to pick the item up myself from a depot
?
