I went through two GV42L's before I gave up and got my money back. The first one had TERRIBLE back light bleed-through on the bottom left of the screen. It wasn't just minor back light bleed-through, it was pure white in some areas. The 2nd unit had a pretty uneven back light in the upper-right and lower-bottom - not as bad as the first unit by any means, but still - not great. The 2nd unit also had an audio popping problem while switching between analog cable channels. I'm wondering how common these issues are (if at all). I figured I'd just wait until Christmas time and see if they have improved production on them, or maybe even bring a 1080p offering to the table.
