Anyone have an Advent TV? The reason I ask is that it says it can play PAL as well as NTSC, and it's a bargain at bestbuy.com.

I have the 20 inch flatscreen model. It looked just as good as Sony in the store. One problem I am having is that when using component inputs I get a red tinted picture. I'm not sure if its
my DVD player thats the problem (Cyberhome 500) or my cables, or the TV. One other small annoyance is there is a very high pitch coming from the tv for about 3 minutes every time you turn it on, but it goes away. I'm hoping the tv just needs to be broken in. Overall I am satisfied with the tv for the price I paid.

I also have an Advent and a Cyberhome 500 with component hookup, I do not know if the TV itsself does PAL conversion, I will have to check, but The Cyberhome however does DVD NTSC>PAL conversion and outputs great on my Advent. If you are interested, check one of the Cyberhome threads in this forum for more info, you can pick a 500 up for under 75 dollars and a 402 (also does PAL conversion) for around 50

Thats a problem with the Cyberhome itsself. check out the forums at www.nerd-out.com (i have in no way any affilliation with this site, just a good mb resource). There is a cyberhome forum there with descriptions of the problem. The manufacturer will replace your unit for free with an updated version that fixes the tinting problem.
