Sony, LG, Panasonic, and Samsung scored well in a survey, while some other well-known names did not.

2 Panasonic Plasmas
1 Panasonic LCD
1 Samsung Plasma
1 Westinghouse LCD

I even tipped my brothers Panasonic LCD over and made it crash to the floor from about 4 feet up because he pissed me off. Cracked the case in the corner, however the damn thing is pristine. Lol. He is still using too

Big surprise to me actually, their rather small survey doesn't match the consumer reports findings for reliability.

I will copy some of the CR reports this week-end when I get out to my father-in-law's house, he has a subscription.

I'd much rather see a percentile than a legend with three different colour markings. As far as reliability goes the top brands were all 2-5% repair ratings, so not much to squawk about there.

Sony was not #1 though.

crackinhedz · 12-11-2008, 11:47 PM

yeah, a "PC World Survey" is not very scientific.

Too many bias's to take it seriously.

Sony is the best man, no other brand comes even close.

i bought a sony bravia v series last month and it had serious clouding probs on it. so i exchanged for a new one but it was even worse

so i went and got a samsung and couldn't be happier. nfl games have a much cleaner look on the samsung . btw it is the official tv of the nfl

masob98 · 12-22-2008, 01:04 PM

I dont have a sony, but Im definately leaning towards getting me one. Been shopping around for a new LCD, my first actually. My top choices are between Sony, Samsung, and LG.

dobyblue · 12-22-2008, 03:19 PM

Sony is not the most reliable TV manufacturer according to Consumer Reports 2008 edition.

I can't remember who was #1 for LCD, but Panasonic was #1 for plasma, LCD was not Sony.

I will get the issue from my father-in-law on the 26th and copy out the list.

Unfortunately for you that's not true at all, nothing could be further than the truth.

Thanks for the info. Been reading this thread and I found it hard to believe that Sony was #1 for reliability for tv's. I was under the impression Panasonic had to be #1 (for plasma at least).
