>> Be careful when buying Sony LCD TV
I bought this Sony LCD TV set at 2008 Christmas It was excellent in picture and sound seemed to be better than Samsung LCD TV Meanwhile just 2 3 months after the one year warranty it was found that there was a 2 or 3 pixel wide vertical line about 2 inches from the left brim and from the top to bottom brim presenting in the screen when watching TV programs DVD and BlueRay which were suspected to be dead pixels The software was updated to sony dtv package206r p08 but the line was still there SONY support office told me that this might be caused by TV brocasters And I need to bring it to repair if it presists after hiding broadcaster noise attempts while the cost won t be covered by SONY as the warranty has expired
In brief if you want to watch the TV just for one year then buy it Otherwise think twice
>> BIG BLACK line after 14 months of use Sorry NO warranty
Oh NO my beautiful SONY true branded SONY big black line down the screen Oh the horror and dismay I received this LCD TV in October 2008 as a 10 year anniversary present We bought it from Amazon Warehouse Deals I had to kick in some of my own money to up the brand to a Sony After a little over 1 year it developed a big black line down from the top to the bottom of the screen in the RED spectrum only Green and Blue are fine But when red shows up on the TV a big black burned out pixel line shows very prominently So I thought well there goes the 1400 we spent on this TV NOT MY BEAUTIFUL SONY But alas after all I could do no fixing the black line The Sony authorized service folks told me the LCD panel would need to be replaced and that cost more than to just go buy a new TV I also called Sony and they told me I would be on my own to get it repaired again told that the cost of repairs is more than the cost of the TV brand new
So 1400 for 14 months of Sony TV use amounts to 100 a month rental fee and Mother Earth and the trash dump takes one on the chin for another disposable piece of electronic wizardry
Yes the TV still works yes one could live with the black line down the TV side but for me every time I watch TV that line stares at me and I think about nothing but Dang this was supposed to be a SONY
So I cannot recommend this product even though for the 1 year it looked beautiful Unless you buy an GIANT extended warranty it is wicked to buy a TV and have it last only 1 to 3 years My 1991 Sony Trinitron still works perfect My how the brand has suffered over the years So sad and disappointing
On the plus side now I have an excuse to go get a much bigger TV Maybe this time I will try Samsung with a MASSIVE extended warranty
>> Vertical Lines Sony Refuses to Acknowledge
Had this tv 18 months and now there are vertical lines on the screen Been researching and this seems to be a common issue with other folks that have bought this tv around the same time I did Called Sony and they are no help at all Have checked into having tv fixed and price quotes are in the 1 500 range That is horrible I could buy a new one for less Very upset and filing a complaint with the BBB
