Notes

Set shares almost the same exact chassis as the DS27830, save for a few different parts.

Over component the image is fairly clean, but one nitpick is that reds look "soft" or bleed a bit. I think this is due to the Sanyo jungle chip processing the red at a lower chroma resolution. I've seen something similar with early-2000's Panasonic sets over component. Still, the image is pretty good overall. This era of Sanyo sets from 2003-2004 certainly has better component handling than the later ones, that's for sure.

While the set is plugged in, there is some sort of relay clicking coming from the power supply section. I believe this is normal, as I've heard this on other Sanyo sets from the time.
