Ouch. I would assume they would be insured for something like that.

Would a comp to scart adapter work? Or does it just not do comp?

Interesting! I have the KDL40V3000. How might I go about demanding my replacement?

Good luck on a replacement though.

Mr S, as the Doc asks, can't you use a scart adapter (camcorder/xbox/PS2 etc) ?

Yes, I guess I can use a scart, good point. I just plugged it into my Commodore 1084S monitor instead in the end.
