Negative Positive
Title: Sony No More!
Review: We purchased the 32" Sony XBR4 in July of 2007, enjoying four years of quality images. At four years and one month, the LCD TV now shows vertical lines, requiring a trip to the local repair shop. The owner will call me after the initial $75 diagnostic check. If the panel assembly needs to be replaced, it does not make financial sense to repair it. The set becomes a recycling project.As other reviewers have noted, Sony does not seem to want to acknowledge this reoccurring problem, so you will not get any financial help from Sony. The warranty was a limited, one year coverage.If I replace the TV, it will be a Samsung. No more Sony products in our household!UPDATE 8-31-11:Local tech confirmed whole panel assembly needs to be replaced. $800+. A few calls to Sony Customer Relations, asking that their Co. cover cost of parts to be shipped to tech shop. I will cover cost of labor. In negotiations.....
