I purchased a Sony bravia 42" tv, August 2008. I use it about 4 hours a day and last week on Friday it started to give me problems. I was told by all my friends that had Sony tv's that they were the best! The warrenty insurance company would not repair it because they said the part I needed cost $900+, so I have to settle for a much cheaper fairly unknown brand to me. You people are suppose to be the best. No way that Tv should already be giving trouble. I had waited so long to be able to afford a Sony and now its no more. My feelings are really hurt because I had to give it up. I'm a retiree on a budget and it was a big splurge for me, but it was something I always wanted. I'm not a person who complains, but I had to say something. Thanks for the little time I had it, it was great!
