>> Great Television Until It Dies Then Sony Says Too Bad
I ll be perfectly honest I was VERY happy with my Sony Bravia until it the picture started to die less than two years after I purchased it We now have to wait 45 minutes after turning it on for the picture to clear up
I ll also admit that I was not smart enough to buy the extended warranty which you MUST do if you by a Sony because I was very disappointed and confused when Sony did not offer to help me more than they did For the cost of what it will cost to fix it I could now buy two new 46 Bravias
Again it s a great product but Sony s committment to the their customers is ridiculous Why pay the higher price when you re not getting better service Vizio here I come
>> Excellent TV
This is my first HDTV Saw it at a relative s house last winter and wanted one Got a great price Easy to install although I did purchase an a/v switch because of the number of devices hooked to the TV Excellent quality of picture sound and looks
>> Sony Has History of BAD LCD s
We bought a KCL 52XBR4 LCD TV in Feb 2008 As previously reported by others in Aug 2009 we experienced lines progressing to a black screen At that time we were told by a tech that it was a due to a bad LCD panel Worse when our installer contacted Sony he was told there was only a 12 month warranty when Sony had extended to 18 months Recall that Sony has you register your purchase so that you could be notified of issues like a warranty extension but of course this is only likely a ploy to sell your name since Sony chose not to notify anyone Since the cost of repairs approached that of a replacement we passed on the repair In researching a new TV we learned of the special extended warranty on the 46 in models and of numerous reports of similar problems in the 52 inch products Breaking through customer support we got to consumer affairs They insisted on a report from a Sony approved repair shop and proof of purchase 110 00 dollars later once again we we informed that the problem was a defective panel Two levels of customer affairs later Sony s response was we ll assist you with covering 25 of the parts Sony will not even refund the wasted 110 00 on the service call they insisted on The Sony approved repair tech and our installer both have said they have experienced similar responses from Sony but that a few customers have their entire repair cost on these 52 inch TV s covered fully Needless to say Sony is not a honorable company If you chose to avoid Sony products please note that Samsung is now strongly affiliated with Sony
FYI There is also a problem with an electronic module at the top of the these KDL XBR s The problem source can be differentiated by the fact that if the module is responsible the Sony menus are unaffected Sony also has a huge problem with their rear projection TV lamps melting the outside housing
