i couldnt find any source for the problem which is why i asked them directly at SID. The e-ink guys who developed the new higher contrast pearl said it had to be a TFT problem. The e-ink film is just not reactive that way. Then i asked the PVI reps who were there and they said it was definitely a TFT problem etc etc. They didn't have this problem until a certain run of Vizplex. early Visplex panels did not and they don't now.

As far as I know this is only in writing where I have written it. If anyone else has asked directly and been given an answer then they havent reported it where I've been able to find.

BUT every brand that has faced the problem - and I think now with this report its all of them- has been replacing them under warranty. Onyx had a bit of a row with PVI over it as they had some trouble getting them to provide replacements. I figure that was a stalling tactic so they could produce enough to meet the demand AND still provide for new orders.
