The other fall charts no longer seem to be available on the CEA site
because they've been updated. The updated charts have MUCH fewer listed
violations. Here's what I've found:
AOC A42W64AT4
BenQ DV3750
Dell W4200ED
Panasonic TH-42XVS30U
Panasonic TH-50XVS30U
Panasonic TH-65XVS30U
http://www.ce.org/PDF/hdtvguidewinter06.pdf
So the situation certainly seems to be improving greatly. But note that
the AOC number is different from that in the previous list, suggesting
that it is a new model.

Here is the exact wording (47 C.F.R. 15.117 i 1):
"Responsible parties, as defined in Section 2.909 of this chapter, are
required to equip new TV broadcast receivers that are shipped in
interstate commerce or imported from any foreign country into the United
States and for which they are responsible to comply with the provisions
of this section in accordance with the following schedule:"
Paragraph h, above that, says "TV broadcast receivers are required to
provide useable picture and sound commensurate with their video anbd
audio capabilities when receiving digital television signals."
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/rules/part15/part15-91905.pdf
So whether models are old or not makes no difference. My reading of the
law is that, if the set is not used and is shipped interstate, the
mandate applies.
I defer to any lawyers on the forum.
TTFN,
Mark
