Strength:

This is a wonderful option if you need a TV for your kitchen or a smaller room. We have it in our kitchen and are quite pleased with the picture and sound quality. This television includes all of the features you'll need, as well as a sleep timer, freeze frames, wide screen mode, zoom, and more. Anyway, if you're into PC gaming, you should try among us for pc you can get the game on a Game Software called Games.lol.

No TV remote.

I bought the model KDF55E200 in 2007 after 3 years the bulb went on it. I was leary when I bought it but got the floor model after they threw in the 5 year extended warranty for $50. I was told by the sales lady that short of someone throwing something through the screen I was 100% covered. After paying for the replacement bulb the TV worked fine until last week when the optical block started to go. I called the about the warranty and was told a technician would be by on Monday. Monday the tech called and asked for the model number and this is where the story went south turns out the model number is KF-E50A10 . So 4 years ago I paid extra for a 55" television which on the invoice it says I purchased but actually received a 50" with a history of problems.

My review will look like nearly everyone's review after they've owned a Sony 60" WEGA TV for more than 3 or 4yrs. The set come with a defective Optic Block, so just after replacing the Lamp ($250), they too will have to replace Sony's DEFECTIVE OPTIC BLOCK ($700 part + $350 installation, and taxes ). In my case, Sony first recommended I have the TV diagnosed by a Sony certified repair company ($95). Total disaster came to over $1,300 in repairs, parts and labor for what is supposed to be Sony's highest quality, video enthusiast LCD Rear-Project TV, retailing for $4,500 when purchased. SONY is not a company to do business with if you plan on owning your TV for more than 4yrs. Good luck to those buying new Sony products today... this coming from a Sony die-hard since the days of the walk-man. NEVER again.

there is a leak of purple zigzag in the left side of the screen . The tv is in the living room which we are ever in there , paid over 2000.00 dollars for this tv and maybe turned it on 30 times and it had not been turned on for a year and so the neighbours kids wanted to watch a video and that is when we notice it was really defective. we checked the cable connection and even had someone else look at it, and they have never seen the purple leak in the screen and he as well asked why is there so much snow in the screen and we just thought it was badly connected because that has always been that way. Crapyola tv for sure. Our hard earn money down the drain.

I purchased a Sony Wega LCD 42" TV in June of 2005. It has a "Blue Blob or haze" on the screen caused by a defective light engine also called a optical block. According to my research Sony knew of this problem and still sold the Wega series in retail outlets. The consumer was never notified of this recall thru usps or email.There is also an issue with pink spots on the screen which are caused by a dust problem. These repairs are $900 -$1200. There has been class action suits for larger models. All Wega were defective. Sony Corporation placed defective merchandise in retail outlets. The consumer was not notified about a recall which has since expired.Very poor business practice for such a large corporation

Sony Wega has been the biggest disappointment, especially from a brand that is supposedly trusted so much by consumers. I've had this t.v. for 4 years. After the first two, the picture went out and guess what? It is going out again.It was never the same picture wise after the first repair. We have had other brands like, sharp, panasonic etc. for over 20 years that have had no issues!!!!! Pretty pathetic. They only cost a fraction of the price. Rather than repair this one again, has anyone heard of any issues with the Vizio? Or had any luck with a different brand of 55" t.v.'s? Comments would be appreciated. Buyer beware, do not buy Sony!!!!!!!!!!

Strength:


For the first 2 years it's ok after that it' trash

Weakness:

B-Block only last 1.5 + yrs if lucky

Purchased new 01/17/06 and within 2 years from purchase the B-Block went bad. We spoke with sales at PC Richards and where told there was only 1 year warranty from manufacture , but they have a service bulletin out due to the problem. When we contacted Sony several times only one person tried to help, we sent a copy of purchase statement and when the called back we where told that the repair was on us. The internet is full of customers like me that exactly after 2 years there TV failed, and are complaining and getting nowhere. So to all that want to purchase a Sony Product, Yes reviews so it's all in all good, but for how long they don't tell you.
Sony WEGA HDTV $2300.00
Extra accessories $ 252.60
3 Mnts On the Phone With Sony Techs. $ 37.82
Repair Problem $1050.00
Reading reviews before purchasing a Sony product PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!

Strength:

Sony caring enough to extend the warranty on new technology, making sure the consumer didn't completely get burn. Color resolution unrivaled.

Weakness:

The bulb. This isn't necessarily a knock on Sony. If you're a power house TV company, you'd better be able to pay for extensive research to make and produce better parts.

I have a 50" Sony Wega, and I am what you would call "an upper class TV watcher " or "stuck up". I cant watch anything now unless it's in HD. I don't think any other brand would have made me this way. The color resolution and sound is superior. Like everyone else with models from '04, I've experienced the bulb outage and the optic block problem. Sucks to go through any of that, but at least Sony did extend the warranty for the OB. I've read that some brands didn't even cover their OB problems. Unfortunately, I had to eat the price of the bulb. Funny, we've been to the moon and can build skyscrapers to the heavens, but the life time of a bulb in a $3400 TV is about 2 years.
