>> Recurring problem with Bravias
This is a nice TV great for general use for the most part The one issue that it fails at and on epic proportions is the internal computer I have a recurring problem with two different bravias but I m only writing the review for this one The entire screen will dim when a dark scene is present If you re watching Star Wars and the screen is showing a picture of space the dark picture will cause the tv to dim the entire screen You ve no idea how maddening this is So beware Sony makes other good TVs but after the runaround I got from support my suggestion is to stay clear of this one
>> Love my sony
Purchased this in March 2009 for bedroom Was easy to set up and install channels from Comcast Had no problems I have on fireplace mantel and it fits fine I ve not dabbled in a lot of the features and settings as I m a basic user There s a slight delay in turning on and showing the picture which just takes some getting use to The sound is great I don t notice any picture change from different angles however I view fairly head on The only thing I still don t like is the use of the remote control The buttons seem to have a slight delay and doesn t function as well as past tvs Sony and Toshiba alike
>> Don t Trust Sony Warranty
I purchased this TVSony Bravia M Series KDL 26M4000 26 Inch 720p LCD HDTV for my mother and paid the premium for a Sony as I wanted to be sure my mother would not experience any problems To our surprise after 10 months the picture went bad Fortunately there was a 1 year warranty with the TV My mother was easily able to access the Sony warranty people on the phone who arranged for her to receive the exact same model BUT one that was refurbished This new refurbished TV came with only a 90 day warranty as opposed to the one year warranty on the new TV I originally purchased This refurbished TV went bad after just a few weeks At that point Sony offered my mother a 32 inch new TV for an additional 400 That was ridiculous as this price plus the original paid for the malfunctioning 26 would mean that we paid over 900 for a 32 TV that costs 599 today new on Amazon So my mother requested that she simply receive a new 26 TV to replace the original purchase that went bad within the warranty period They said all they can do is give her another refurbished 26 TV with a 90 day warranty So basically our new TV with a year warranty has been reduced to a refurbished TV with a 90 day warranty In addition my mother has spent many days without a working TV This will definitely be the last Sony TV purchase I ever make as they clearly no longer stand behind their product
