I think we are wondering a bit off the subject here, this sucks, that sucks, whatever. I have called Sony to come check out my VVega, if they cannot fix it via adjustments, I will get it replaced by 800, maybe score an upgrade like some of the other people. I have checked the B&M stores around here and NONE of the store displays I scoped out had the infamous "wave" (although, admittedly, some of the display units were not able to be truely tested because of their setup, ala Best Buy). I do not think it is a design flaw, and the flat screen does take a little getting used, for some people.
Merry Christmas to all (or Happy Holidays if you prefer)!
Thanks to byuva, this could be a record first post.
