I'm with you on that one, Tom. In the first pic of those two, I see one band going right over the top of the turtle's head, and another band higher up that is just about in-line with the raccoon's ear. This is exactly what I see on my 46d62u, though in different positions, which is probably because Shinraven has the 52" model. So frustrating! I'm still hoping that this issue can/will be corrected by an exchange, or that Sharp will correct this in later productions models. Who knows though. I love this set enough that I may keep it anyway...
I fear the same. I'm just hoping those who are in the process of exchanging them will come back with positive news; but it's not looking good.
If this is the case, it totally crosses this panel off the list. I returned my Westy 47" because of the vertical banding.
I wrote a note to Sharp asking them to address this issue. We'll see if that and/or people returning sets for the issue get them to act. I hope so.

For any that are curious, I spoke with Sharp CS and passed along the photo I had taken from my set. Their response was that they would normally schedule a service appointment for something like this, but since the set is so new they would recommend exchanging it at BB for a new one. They said if the new one exhibits the same problems, then they'll have a better idea that it's something wrong with the model line. She said mine was the first call she'd received on this set for any reason, not just banding.
Not that any of that is groundbreaking news, but what I took away from the conversation was that while it's too early to know how uniform of a problem this is, it seems Sharp will be receptive to any complaints as the rep I spoke with was very helpful and said she would be keeping the photo on file in case any more reports of the issue come in.
I hate making the proverbial "mountain out of a mole hill" but this is honestly my only problem with the set, so I'm hoping it can be resolved.
Westa - what I saw was straight horizontal bands of varying luminance, no chromatic banding or color contouring due to insufficient bit depth. It's there infrequently, just not sure from a brief judgement at BB whether its a deal breaker or a nuisance, or even atypical of the set. I am a Sharp fan, want the sets to work out for all.
I can definitely understand the concerns about the horizontal bands. The bands are visible in some photos (images / scenes). I'd say roughly 15% of the photos Shinraven has in his gallery. I can't say that they are significant enough for me not to buy this panel. I'll go back to the store to take one more look at it before deciding whether to buy it or not.
Who knows if this will be something that Sharp decides to correct.
In definitiva è solo un lcd con retroilluminazione per la perfezione ce ne corre
