Editorial Review :

Sony’s S-series TVs put amazing picture quality and stunning dynamic contrast in reach for value-oriented consumers who want to step up into the Sony Full HD 1080p experience. These TVs represent the entry-level models in Sony’s large screen offerings in 2009 and offer the superior resolution and contrast, advanced image processing features, and variety of HD input options available on high-end BRAVIA HDTVs -- all in an affordable package. With three HDMI connections, you can hook up a Sony PlayStation3 entertainment system, Blu-ray Disc player, or any other HDMI-capable equipment and get uncompressed digital video and multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. You also have numerous other HD connection options, including YPbPr Component inputs as well as a PC input for using your laptop or desktop PC with your big-screen HDTV. No matter which HD source you use, the exclusive Sony BRAVIA Engine 2 fully digital video processor ensures that images look sharp and brilliant. With BRAVIA Link compatibility, you can easily expand your high-resolution home theatre set-up with optional BRAVIA Wireless Link, BRAVIA DVD Link, or BRAVIA Input Link Modules. And BRAVIA Sync makes controlling everything a snap. Additionally, BRAVIA S-Series HDTVs exceed Energy Star 3.0 requirements by incorporating advanced power saving features such as Light Sensor technology that adjusts backlight intensity based on ambient room lighting conditions and Dynamic Backlight Control that adjusts backlight intensity based on the brightness of the image on the screen. Utilizing these features can reduce power consumption by up to 60% in a typical home theater environment.

I will never buy another Sony Product

We literally bought four (4) of these pieces of junk starting Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 7, 2010 through Feb. 28, 2010. Each one had issues within 2-5 days. We took all four (4) back based upon the advice of Sony Technicians, and I tried to call Sony to seek help. I spent a total of 4 1/2 hours over 5 days on the phone, mostly on hold, waiting to talk to a person. I finally was told "that is beyond our control, you need to talk to someone in Customer Relations." FYI, if you try to call Customer Relations at 1-239-768-7547, which by the way is the number that is listed on Sony's web-site, the first thing you will notice is it is a "long distance call." The second thing you will notice is you will be on hold for a minimum of 30 minutes waiting to talk to someone. The third thing you will find is that you aren't calling Sony Customer Relations at all.

You are calling Product Support, who will ask you dozens of the same question, until you have wasted more of your day and money on the long distance call. Only after you get so angry you are ready to spit nails do they say "you need to talk to someone in Sony Customer Relations." Then the fun really begins as Sony Customer Relations is only open on Monday through Friday. On top of that they are never available, and you will be on hold for another 30 or more minutes. Someone may finally get on the line, but each time in my case it was the person I just talked to and they suggested I call back the next day. When I refused they said the Customer Relations Staff was very busy, and could not get to my call. Geez, I wonder why? Could it be because their products are junk?

See the pattern here? And, after your blood pressure is sky high, then you will have a person come on the phone and tell you that "Sony does not compensation Customers for time and inconvenience." Anyone else see the problem here? The sad part is we were willing to try the new Sony KDL40 EX400, but we asked Sony to send us a $40.00 set of the Sony HDMI cables for our tv at no charge, as they are unavailable at the stores in our areas. Sony was only willing to allow us to "buy the cables from them." Apparently they do not care about their Customers. I told them that I no longer buy Sony, and I will make sure no one else makes the same mistake. They kept apologizing, but not one person was willing to step up and do something to fix the problems "they" caused.

This company isn't the Sony you and I grew up with. They are a joke, their products are junk and their Customer Service is the worst I have ever experienced.

Junk

This is the 2nd Sony I've purchased. I guess I can be criticizd for making a mistake twice, as the other Sony we had went completely out after 3 years. Worked fine for about 13 months, then approximately 1/5th of the screen started going out and it's now just a black band along the right side. Repair man is on the way - again. I won't buy another Sony TV and I can't recommend any Sony.

cracking static sounds on TV speakers

I love this TV. The pictures are beautiful!! The sound is great too, except that I, and others could hear loud static sounds from the speakers when the volume is turned up to about 30ish. You don't hear this in all movies or programs. I believe it may be base related. But it totally just ruins the mood whenever you are watching action movies... please read up reviews on the 32" Sony Bravia, this item also has very poor sound reviewS. I know so because I was considering a 32" Sony as well. Hey, maybe I just got a lemon. Good luck!

Sony = terrible customer service

I bought this TV just before Christmas 2009 and it has has not worked properly since day 1. First of all, The HDMI inputs didn't work all the time. Periodically when turning the TV on, there is a picture but no sound, or sound and no picture. Reseating the HDMI cable fixes it temporarily. The TV also pops loudly and reboots itself 3 or 4 times a week. Sony farms out repair to a local company and the local guy said Sony has had problems with direcTV DVR's. He called Sony and they authorized replacing the main board and power supply. This did fix the HDMI problems but not the loud popping and reboooting. Another repair call required replacement of the LCD panel. After waiting another 2 weeks for this, the replacement panel wouldn't even turn on so he had to put the old panel back in. Sony then said they would replace the TV and I'd be called within 3 days. This is when the real trouble started. I got a garbled message requesting I fax my original purchase receipt to a toll number in Florida. I couldn't make out the number and the rep left no call back. The next day, I had another garbled message but managed to get the phone number and some of my "reference number" out of the message. The next day I got a third call saying the information was incomplete - now they want the retailer's name and address even though the first 2 messages didn't ask for that. Again, no call back number was given. Sony's website doesn't list any toll free numbers, either, so I had to pay to talk to them. That's when I found out the Florida number just bouces to a call center in the Phillipines. Eventually, they got the information (that they already had) and called a week later, leaving another toll number for me to call. This time, they offered to sell me the latest Sony TV at a cost of 300 dollars more OR a refurbished TV. Considering I bought a NEW TV and it didn't work from the beginning, I wasn't too happy. Sony only offers new replacement within the first 30 days, even though any intermittent problem will NEVER be resolved within that time, so everybody gets a used one for replacement. The rep also flat out refused to give me a supervisor, anyone at corporate office or anyone other than him when I asked. Long story short, the "new" used TV arrived and broke within 1 day. The picture started out ok, then just got darker and darker until you couldn't see anything. I'm still waiting for the third one. I know all electronics support is pretty bad these days, but I expecteed a lot more from a company of Sony's size and wealth.

Great Picture!

This TV was over $2600 when new, 900 bucks is a steal! I always tend to buy the best TVs you can get about 10 months after they come out and you can really save. This one is no dissappointment.

Stunning!!

I researched the LCD TV arena extensively and Sony kept coming up
as the "Top Dog". I found the Sony KDL-46XBR9 on sale from Crutchfield for
$999.00 delivered and jumped on it.
The set-up was as quick as 1-2-3. The picture? Wow!!! I was blown away.
Sound quality could be better but overall this TV can't be beat for the price.

Kick ass TV, even now!

The tv gets compliments from everyone that comes over. Killer picture quality! Can't go wrong with a Bravia! I'm not being a sony fan-boy but with all the research I've done, many experts point right back to the Bravia.

Great TV but early LCD Failure

I bought the unit direct from SONYSTYLE for $2200.00 in Jan 2009. It had an 18 month warranty and I bought a 4-year extended warranty ($200)from SONY. Good thing to. The main digital circuit board and LDC panal failed at 17 months 20 days, just before warranty expired. SONY has been very responsive for service and is replacing the entire unit with a KDL40XBR9(refurbished) unit under warranty. SONY no longer offers the KDL40XBR7 set except as a refurbished unit for $1350. I'm otherwise very pleased with the set except for the major component failure at 18 months. The Amazon price is a good deal, but try to get an extended warranty from a reputable source. The replacement unit (KDL40XBR9) is a better unit with faster refresh rate (240Hz vs. 120Hz for the XBR7).

The replacement KDL40XBR9(refurbished) unit has performed excellantly. Very pleased with it to date.

very disappointed

I purchased the SONY BRAVIA XBR KDL-40XBR4 40" IN Dec. 2007, for $1899.98
three weeks ago the TV went totally black,the had been no surge and the TV
is on its own power line; I called an authorized service center
and was told that SONY has been having a problem with this size TV, if I wanted
it fixed it would cost $1200 plus service charge, according to the service center
it is a light on the panel, however, unlike other HD TVs you cannot just buy the
light you have to replace the whole panel. BUYER BEWARE

Editorial Review :

The Sony BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs represent the next step forward for Sony HDTV technology. Underpinning this advance is the TRILUMINOS RGB Dynamic LED backlight, which utilizes clusters of red, green, and blue LEDs to produce accurate colors and an amazingly realistic image, and employs local dimming to dynamically adjust the brightness of LED clusters, allowing the XBR8 to display deep blacks alongside bright whites for enhanced image depth and exceptional shadow detail. Motionflow 120Hz PRO technology creates new frames to double the frame rate, then uses sequential scanning to enhance motion and deliver a smoother and clearer picture, and 24p True Cinema lets you experience a cinema-like experience. BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs also feature the powerful BRAVIA Engine 2 PRO fully digital video processor, which creates sharp, crystal-clear images at any resolution, as well as advanced color reproduction technologies including 10-bit processing and a 10-bit panel, Live Color Creation, and x.v.Color capability. DMex functionality lets you expand the capabilities of the BRAVIA XBR8-Series with optional BRAVIA Link modules, including the BRAVIA Internet Video Link, BRAVIA Wireless Link, BRAVIA DVD Link, and BRAVIA Input Link (all sold separately). In addition, the exclusive Xross Media Bar (XMB) user interface, integrated TV Guide Interactive Program Guide, and BRAVIA Sync one-touch component control make the BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs easy to use, and the large number of inputs offer you a wide range of connectivity options. BRAVIA XBR8-Series HDTVs also feature an RS-232C connection for integration into home automation systems. You can even customize the timeless design of the BRAVIA XBR8-Series by adding optional speaker grilles available in a selection of designer colors (sold separately)

great led tv

the sony led tv as the best picture and the sound is the best for any 46 inch.the playstation works and looks great with this tv the remote will work with playstation with a HDMI wire which is a plus. this led tv with the floating speakers looks great on the wall.

Super picture!

The quality of the picture is the best attribute of the 46XBR8. The blacks are jet black and the colors pop. The matte screen is great for avoiding reflections in rooms with windows and bright natural sunlight.

The quality of the built in audio is reasonable for a television but does not compare with a dedicated home theater system.

Installation was simple and the packaging was protective but easy to unpack.

The 46XBR8 is not particularly featureful...it lacks built in internet connectivity. There are external modules that Sony offers for several functions.

Now that the price of this Bravia television has come down, it is a very compelling buy. I have been pleased thus far.

Pricey?

Don't understand why e1 keeps saying this TV is pricey. Just purchased one yesterday from Best Buy who was running a special to get rid of their Sony surround sound units with wires. For the TV AND Blue Ray Player & Sony surround sound, including PA's 6% sales tax, it was $1670. Now that is not cheap. But it's not out of hand compared to other TV's and packages. I hope it lasts as long as the Sony Console that we purchased in 1989 for $999.

Still the king

Pro's

-Amazing picture in gaming and 1080p blu-ray quality video
-Matte screen, extremely helpful in preventing glare
-multitude of methods to adjust picture settings, even though the picture looks amazing right out of the box.
-Speakers are adequate
-Price is sweet considering this is still one of the best tv's of all time.
-Get full 18 month warranty
-Motion processing does its job well, and works well in fast action.

Cons
-Menu system has shown its age compared to the newer models, but its a minor issue
-SD, 720p, and 1080i broadcasting can look horrible on this tv, as well as any other lower quality video or gaming, such as the playstation 1 or 2 but thats not the tv's fault. (just thought you should know)
-This tv is pretty thick,and there might be people who don't like that, but it doesn't bother me.
-A lot of useless features that i didn't find useful, such as looking at pictures, and streaming music (but you need an Ethernet cable and modem to be able to do it)

Now the top question you all are thinking.

Is the tv worth the money?, the answer is hell yes. for being 2008 model it is better than any LED tv on the market today.

Great Set !

I have been eyeing this set for about a year, now was the right time to pull the trigger. The price is about as low as its going to get before this set disappears. I decided to buy it locally after studying all the options, I wanted it delivered without hassle and in home 4 year extended warranty just in case. I got the lowest price online matched at a great store here in IL. Worth paying tax for the peace of mind. I also got a free Blu Ray player with it. I think if you have the option of buying a set locally you should with item like a large TV no offense to anyone who bought online. I almost did. I love Amazom.

Now on to the TV itself, what a great set the picture quality is amazing, with so many options you can get dizzy playing with them all. I just can't say enough how good this set looks. This is my first LCD TV. I had a 34 inch XBR HDTV tube what a huge difference. This set has every option besides WiFi. The remote is easy to use and very responsive. It controls my DVR, AVR, Blu Ray player. It has codes for just about all the brands of equipment you might have in your home theater. It lights up a nice shade of blue if you are in the dark at a push of button. I found that it handles Standard def TV ok, not as bad as some have said, but certainly not wonderfully. I won't be watching too much standard def after viewing high def. It's just hard to go back, it was already that way the last few years on my 34 XBR as it is. I found the off angle viewing better than expected, but like any LCD once you hit the 45 degree or more angle the color starts to shift and fade. still not nearly as bad as it used to be. I found this set not as bad as the Sammies for off angle. I have a desk about 35 to 40 degrees off angle which I like to sit at and watch and it looks very good.

I have the TV hooked up to a Comcast HD DVR, Sony Blu Ray player, and Yamaha home theater receiver. Plus I have xbox 360, PS3, and Wii all hooked up. This set is great for gaming. Each input on each unit is set up and the tv remembers all the settings for each item. I have not had any problems with slow down or artifacing once I tweaked each input for the specific system. This TV handles everything I can throw at it. Even the Wii looks good with ED def with component cables. I am very happy with this TV so far, I have owned it a few days granted, So I will revisit this review in a few months with an update.

In closing I would say now is the time to buy this TV, great price at this point. I looked at many other TVs I did not like as much, Edgelit LED, not as uniform a picture with other problems. Plasma too heavy, not as long a life span, worries about burn in and image retention with so many video games that I own. I looked at other brands, Samsung so many complaints with reliablity, and poor customer service, inputs that just die after a few weeks. Sony just seemed to be the overall leader for less problems, reliability. LCD was the best choice for me. The whole clouding issue with LCD is not an issue for me, I just don't see it that much. If you have a chance to buy this set, at this price point IE sub $1500. Grab it up now, I would say bigger is better in this case, so if you have the extra money to go for the 52 version go for it. 46' is still a nice size for an avg room. I just was at my limit for spending. Great set! Go grab one now before they are gone.

Sony KDL46Z5100

I bought the Sony KDL46Z5100 after doing a fair amount of research and having already owned a Sony 46" XBR4 which has incredible picture quality at 120Hz. The unit comes packaged well from Sony and the pedestal is easily installed on the bottom of the unit. This TV is much lighter than the XBR4 and I was able to tackle assembly by myself. It was so easy to set this TV up and I hooked it up to an Onkyo Surround Sound system and Sony Blu-Ray BDP-N460 (this is the unit that lets you connect to the internet through your LAN) player. Within minutes I was up and running with NetFlix watching a movie. The color on this TV is fantastic. I watched a few games to see the difference that 240Hz makes - and it makes a huge difference and you can also change the settings on the TV. Everything is crystal clear and super sharp and there is no blurring that I could notice on fast moving images! There are plenty of jacks on this unit including the nice feature of a LAN Ethernet connection. This is nice if you don't have the capabilities of hooking up to the internet through a Blu-Ray player that has the network features. As part of the setup on the TV you are asked if you want to connect to the home network.

There is a firmware download available for this TV from the Sony website. You can download the 30MB file to your computer and copy it on a USB flashdrive. Although I didn't see any reason to do the firmware upgrade I decided to do it anyway. I downloaded the file from the Sony support site on the Internet and then copied the file to a Sony MicroVault USB flash drive and then popped it in the back of the TV. Almost immediately, the TV recognized the file and provided step by step instructions for the upgrade. It took a total of about 3 minutes to load the file and the TV went on and off about three times with warning screens not to be concerned about the turning on and off. After that, the TV stated the upgrade was done and I was back to watching a great picture. I was told that Sony will also send you the firmware upgrade on a USB device if you don't have a USB drive.

The remote was larger than I expected and has every button imaginable on it. It has a lighted feature which I thought was great so you could see the buttons in dim light. Because the TV is large, if you intend on using the pedestal with the TV, it is recommended that you secure the TV to the stand or wall. I put straps around the base to secure it to the stand that supports the weight of the TV so that children don't accidentally tip the TV over. I bought a set of straps (Velcro with Buckle) at Home Depot for about $5 which I used on another LCD TV with great results. In fact, they worked great and better than some other products advertised over the Internet. They secured the TV firmly in place to avoid any tip overs.

The TV looks great in the gloss piano black and is slimmer than the older model Sony LCD TV's. I hope to have the TV for a long time.

Sony Bravia Z KDL-46Z5100 46" LCD TV

After much research and debate, we decided to purchase the Sony Bravia Z KDL-46Z5100 46" 240 HZ LCD TV through Amazon. We went with Vann's. The TV arrived several days ahead of schedule (Vann's did their part) but we ended up having to wait an additional day for delivery because the Fed Ex driver obviously did not want to deliver this big, bulky box on a wet, extremely windy, stormy day. I waited home all day the day the TV was to be delivered because of the signature requirement for the delivery, only to find at the very end of the day that the driver had arrived at 8:30 that morning, had failed to ring the front door bell and had instead gone to a garage side door (with no bell) and left an attempted delivery notice which proceeded to blow off the door and fortunately land on the porch and stick in the wet snowy slush. If you could see our house you would understand that this choice was an obvious choice to avoid delivery (down a steep driveway and off to the side of the garage when the driver easily could have walked from his truck staight to the front door). I called to reschedule delivery for the next day but was unable to do so because the postage they use with the "free shipping" does not allow you to schedule a delivery time. The following day thinking that they would deliver around the same time of day I was prepared for them in the early AM with a note on the side entrance instucting them to use the front door and to please ring the bell. I again waited the entire day, the TV finally arrived at the very end of the day. Upon arrival, the box was in bad shape, very dirty, torn and water damaged. My heart sank but upon opening the box I discovered that there was a box within a box and the original packing box was in perfect condition! Yeah!
I wasted two work days waiting for the "free shipment" so my advise would be to pay the shipping cost for an upgrade so that you can schedule your shipment delivery time unless you or someone else is home anyway. My lost time was worth much more than the added cost of shipping. Another thing they don't tell you is that Fed Ex and UPS are not supposed to allow you to open a package until you have signed for it. You are told to inspect the package BEFORE you sign, checking for obvious damage and to refuse the shipment if you feel that it is damaged. I got a good driver who bent the rules for me because the box was in such poor condition but you can't count on getting one of the "nice" guys. If I had refused delivery based on the exterior condition of the box, I would have sent back a perfectly good TV and I would have been without my new set for a much longer period of time.
That all having been said, we LOVE the TV! It was a great choice. We were planning to buy a sound system for it but feel that we do not need it. The sound is great. We've been watching the Winter Olympics this week and I have to say, this TV is the next best thing to being in Vancouver! And..we're much warmer!
We were worried that the 46" size would be too large for our very small cozy den but decided to go with it anyway because everyone told us "bigger is better." Absolutely correct! Because it is so thin, it actually takes up much less space in the room than our older model Sony 27" TV did. The room looks larger and roomier! And we have our own personal movie theater. The colors are vibrant and great, the blacks are good and there is no blurring.
We hooked it up ourselves (just us girls) using a Mediabridge Ultra Series HDMI cable that we also ordered from Amazon for $10.00. Much cheaper than the $100.00 Monster cable that we originally purchased and returned to Best Buy. The hookup was simple and the picture is great!
We definitely recommend this TV! A great set for the price.

One of the best TVs without an LED array!

This TV is excellent! Very easy to use and setup.

Features on this TV are extensive but not exhaustive. The Nextflix and Amazon steaming are great but you can't edit the que from the TV. There are plenty of other added features that are nice as well. However, loading times are long on this model (not a fault of internet speed, steaming is HQ and smooth). The type of files you can send to this TV from your computer or USB are limited. Customer service said it would handle only MP3s and MPEGs. I tried experimenting with ACC, Flack, Vob, WMV, and Quicktime files with no luck.

Sound is pretty decent for standard speakers. Midrange is well pronounced making voices easy to hear, but treble and bass are diminished. Off-axis listening is less then desirable making listening in he next room hard.

Picture Quaility is very, very good. The best of witnessed under $2k right now. The 10bit color adds and extra pop to all images. Obviously it really shows on blu-ray but I think it makes all shows a little better. Further on that matter, this TV handles SD broadcasts very well. The TVs lighting is well balanced but it definitely falls short on decent blacks when you're watching HD. When I say this I am compairing it to all TVs but for fluorescent LCDs it's pretty darn good. One thing in particular with this model I noticed is that the corners are sometimes washed out when high backlighting is used. I think this must be how the tubes are arranged.

Glare is not as pronounced as i would have thought with the glossy screen. Off-angle viewing is excellent. I have a desk parked perpendicular to the screen and I can turn my head and see everything very clearly. I mean it's not as sharp but it's hard to notice a difference on TV broadcasts. Nothing I would complain about.

Overall, highly recomended. In my opinion, this is the best TV in this price range. A full array of LEDs is the only way this TV could be better.

I have a dell laptop and I would like to hook it up to my larger LCD TV, I think I need the blue cord thing that goes from my laptop to the tv for the screen (what is this thing called?) and how do I get sound to go from my laptop to go through my tv speakers? Thanks In Advanced!!

Answer:
There are many ways to hook your Laptop to a TV. First, you need to make sure your TV has the same and correct input and the laptop the correct/same output.1. S-Video - This is probably the most common method out there currently because an S-Video cable is cheap as heck and just about every TV under the sun has a S-Video port. You’ll have to make sure you laptop is equipped with this port. Remember, there are two types of S-Video cables: 4-pin and 7-pin. Most laptops and PC’s are equipped with a 7-pin port, so if your TV only has a 4-pin S-Video port, then this method will not work.2. VGA - If you have a HDTV, then you will be better off connecting using a VGA cable. It gives much better quality than S-Video and as with S-Video, the cable is very cheap. You usually won’t find a VGA port on regular TV’s though, so this option is if you have an HDTV.3. DVI - DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface with “digital” being the key word there. The digital signal will give a higher quality picture than either S-Video or VGA. Of course, your computer will need to have a DVI connection and your TV will need to be an HDTV. This cord is definitely not cheap, it ranges anywhere from $40 to $80.4. HDMI - Using HDMI will give you the best quality by far. No computers that I know of yet have HDMI ports, but you can get a DVI to HDMI cable to connect it to your HDTV. HDMI is compatible with DVI.5. Scan Converter Box - This is the last method that I could think of and it involves using a scan converter box, which takes a VGA signal and converts it into S-Video or component video.Direct quote from - http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-connect-your-laptoppccomputer-to-your-tv/

 

Question : What are optimal audio settings for a Sony LCD TV?
What are the best audio settings you can get with a Sony LCD TV with its built-in speakers? Specifically, a Sony KDL-32L4000, it gave me sound modes; Dynamic, Standard, and Clear Voice but I can't tell the difference and all I can adjust are the Treble and Bass. I can't put a surround sound system because there's not enough space for one. Any help?

Answer:
Effects you should be experiencing:Dynamic - greater difference between the quiet & loud sounds.Standard - normal volume range or slightly compressed between the quiet & loud sounds.Clear Voice - Bass and treble cut so that voice isn't too boomy or shrill.

 

Question : What do you think about the Sony Bravia LCD TV range?
In particular the W series? Im thinking of buying the Sony Bravia KLD -40W2000. I read amazing reviews on it but after having gone to see it in a shop, some of the assistants told me it was overrated, and overly-priced. I looked pretty good though. If you have considered this tv yourself or even have one please let me know what you think. I need a final push before making this investment.Thanks.

Answer:
Frankly I have learned not to pay much attention to the people in the store, they are usually not qualified to help you purchase batteries for your remote control let alone give you a recommendation on your TV. I took a quick look around and this model seems to be getting really good reviews, so I would say go for it.

The rest of the tv is perfect..does anyone know whats about to happen?

Answer:
I have no idea what the blue color is, but I'd call whom ever you bought it from and insist on either service or you are bringing/sending the TV back (assuming you purchased from an authorized Sony dealer).

Question : How much would it cost to repair the LCD panel for a Sony LCD TV?
The bottom right hand corner of my Sony LCD TV (Bravia) cracked suddenly while I was watching TV. The display was distorted from the bottom right hand corner to the top. Actually I wonder if this could be repaired afterall.

Answer:
Warning: This is a warning you are not gonna get from the dealers or the manufactures. LCDs have very fragile, very breakable PLASTIC screens. Screens because there are two. The "inner" screen of my 7 mos. old Sony Bravia 42" is broken. Broken by a 34 lb., 3year old throwing an empty plastic cup. The screens are plastic because they can be and it prevents the screen from being reflective. It also makes them CHEAPER to make. No warranty, no repair. If you have children or children visit, do not buy LCDs.I believe mine was defective and an impact that should not have broken it did break it. Try proving THAT! But why did the inner screen break instead of the outer?Sony would have none of that and that really thrilled Best Buy.Sony quoting $2300 to fix a TV I bought for $2000. I believe you. I believe that they are subject to break easier than normal but we cannot prove it.I went and bougth a plasma yesterday.
