Hi Damon,

Thats great info mate thanks,

I would just say tho that I had no idea about any 200 hour run in time until
this morning, I do now of course understand but before had no idea at all,

The shop were ok about it appart from they said I should have lowered the
contrast, problem is again nobody bothered to tell me that,

What firmware do you have and how is it updated ?

Mine is an October build

Cheers Jules
