We bought this TV in November 2008 as it had recieved so many good right ups !, OH had done so much research and this had come out top so we thought treat our selves for Christmas !!, we bought from a Sony shop !.....anyway about July/August 2009 the left hand side of the screen started to "slip" about six inches and became unwatchable ! until it had warmed up !, we called the shop who sent a repair man who took out TV away and left us with a nasty little loan set for about three weeks !!!, at this point we called the repair shop who told us they had not found "any fault !!, so OH said bring it back......for a day or so the problem did not happen then lo and behold back it came !, we put up with for a few more weeks before phoning the shop again and asking for a repair man and refusing the same company who had came before !.....this time OH and I took lots of pictures of the screen problems (just in case !).....I need not have worried as when the repair man arrived he saw the problem right away !, "it needs a new screen panel" he said , they come from Spain so it will take time !, the first panel arrived cracked !!! typical !, but the next arrived no problem !, TV repaired at home....the screen lasted less than one year !,,, you guessed it went again !!! I have just had my new screen fitted again !....I contacted Sony direct this time and found pages of problems with this TV !!!, eventually got a call back saying they were surprised I got a new screen as they were replacing the TV's !, luckily I have a 5 year warranty ( due up soon) I have little faith this new screen will last (would you ????), Sony tell me it is "not their problem" and I should contact my warranty company who are "Sonex" who I acually thought were Sony seeing as I bought the set there !!!.....I feel Sony have let me down badly as a customer and are passing the buck !, they know they have a problem with this TV .......Has anyone out there any advice or experience to pass on ?, yes at the moment I have a TV that works but for how long ???
