>> useless tv after 20 months
bought it in feb08 and the screen just was all jumbled half was almost normal and the other was zoomed in sent it to sony repair center and they said cheaper to buy a new one wtf 3000 down the drain after 20 months
>> 2 years old and picture problems
Initially I was impressed with this set especially when being driven by high quality content Blu Ray video games at 1080p etc Was less impressed with some of the broadcast HD seemed to show a lot of artifacts at times esp during football games I partially blame the quality of the broadcast but also has something to do with TV s ability to process signal
What I really find disappointing is that after only 2 years the TV has a major problem when warming up For upwards of 10 minutes on startup the screen appears distorted almost ghosted on the left side eventually the picture clears up and looks normal but this should not be happening Of course out of warranty My old RCA CRT lasted 11 years before problems
Poor quality Sony
Just bought another TV for downstairs Did I buy a Sony nope Panasonic plasma
>> Excellent No Glare in Window Filled Room
This TV is now over a year old and we love it as much as the day we pulled it out of the box We had tried a 58 Samsung plazma that was beautiful but our bank of west facing windows in bright 300 Colorado sunny days simply did not agree with the mirror like reflective glass of plazma I really wanted that 58 to work and have been accused of being a Sony guy opposed to a Sammy guy I didn t know there were those kind of people out there This 52 Sony handles the sunny bright Colorado bank of windows incredibly well with absolutely no glare ever Full curtains drawn or not I would have never believed it While I wouldn t think twice about a plazma for a darker room with low light and no glare to get those super deep blacks this TV is breath taking and grabs our attention with it s outstanding HD pictures And no I m not a Sony guy opposed to a Sammy guy whatever that is supposed to mean
