Why XBR4 why ! - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

So the problem started on Saturday night and the line on the screen has gotten bigger as time has progressed. it is now about the length of half the screen.

My XBR 2, thank God, no problems. Purchased: July 2007, no contract.

Next one - when it dies- XBR 8 (or 10?) or 50" Kuro/Elite

btw: it's a dead end with SONY. You'll never get satisfaction . .

I thought so as well. However if I had not purchased it I would have to pay for these repairs out of pocket. I would consider Sony a reputable brand.

So, Dave from Sony is finally coming by on Thursday to replace the panel on my television. It took almost a month, I believe, before Sony got someone out here. Im glad its finally getting fixed. I guess thats like almost like getting a new tv, right?

I've had mine for almost two years with no issues.

FIDDYPOP · 02-03-2009, 06:00 PM

I guess there had been a recall and it has happened to quite a few people on their website it shows the symptoms of the defect. I dont know how to post lnks, but its there.

My XBR5 is perfect, never had any problems with it or any of my other sony products for that matter. luck of the draw mabey, just goes to show you what an extended warranty can take care of.

Yes that is exactly it. That line extends the whole scree. It isnt really thick, but it kills all viewing experience.

FIDDYPOP · 02-06-2009, 06:52 PM

My television was fixed and the screen looks better then it did when I first got it. I love my tv

PootieThang · 02-06-2009, 07:52 PM

I'm glad to hear that you got it fixed!
