I just saw one in Waitrose @ Canary Wharf, their demo model is gorgeous....... Pity they wouldn't let me buy it.

I have to say that the one I received yesterday is absolutely wonderful

And a great big hello if you're still at the Wharf - I live at the bottom of the Isle

Happy to bring my PW2 if you want to compare screens, we can go for a coffee somewhere.

Do you work here then Yolina?

Or is that what you meant by the Waitrose Isle? Do you work for them then?

I meant I live on the southern end of the Isle of Dogs (close to Island Gardens DLR station), used to work at the Wharf until a few years ago. So it's just a quick hop away for me if you want to compare screens.

Thanks for the offer. I don't get mine until Tuesday so I'll pm you after then, if that's okay?

You're welcome, and that's absolutely fine

Fingers crossed they send you a good one too.

Well, I'm happy for you that yours is ok, but my PW1 has horrible light shadows even at low light levels. It really does create a criss-cross pattern of light and dark diamonds across several lines of text at the bottom. It seems worse than most of the pictures I've seen although I've seen a few others post similar photos so I just lived with it. Perhaps I got one at the lower end of acceptable values. In fact, I think the light shadows bother me more than the color blobs! Therefore I am very, very pleased (ecstatic even) that my PW2 has significantly improved this issue! The only issue I have is a little light bleed along the lower right edge. Everything else is great. Although, it took me 3 tries to get one without pinholes.

Are you able to post a picture showing that? I'd be interested to see it.

Currently away from home but when I return I'll see if I can get a good comparison picture.

That is what I saw on all three of my PW1s, all of which I returned. I saw several posts with photos of them like that last year. Of course all three of mine were in the first batch so perhaps they had better batches later on.
