4.0 out of 5 stars BIG , BEAUTIFUL, BLANK, July 8, 2004

By	Georganna Gilliam "geonetro" (crescent city, ca USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought my Sony Grand Wega 60" TV in March. Up until 4 days ago I enjoyed the most beautiful picture quality that anyone could ask for. While I was watching a program in High definition and surround sound, everything went black. The bulb went out. I have kinda been expecting this after reading all the problems that Sony has been having with the bulbs going out. There is a article in HOME THEATER MAGAZINE, That states the Sony engineering team has found that there is a combination issue between the lamp and the circuitry in the lamp block,causing the inability for the TV lamp to power on. A service bulletin has been issued authorizing Sony Service Centers and Authorized Service Centers to replace the lamp and /or lamp block in affected units at no cost to the consumer.Consumers who may be experiencing this symptom should contact Sony at (800) 222-sony to schedule a service call.

It's been about a year and a half since Sony replaced the bulb in my TV and it's still going strong. I am still totally in love with it. Four of my friends bought the same TV after viewing mine. I couldn't live without it now. I ended up buying a 850 watt 5.1 surround sound system from Sony too. My home theatre is so much better then going to the movies. I have people comming over all the time to my CINEMA They say it's FANTASTIC !!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good For a while and then the screen starts to go!, December 7, 2008

By	Mom of two (Lagrangeville, NY) - See all my reviews

It started out good, but now there are big blue blotches on the screen. I've had this TV for almost three years and about a year and a half in, it started to get these blue blotches. I called Sony and they had someone call to see if it was one of their common problems, then said it wasn't and that we would have to pay $100 just to have a guy come out and check to make sure and then pay for repairs on our own afterwards if it wasn't a problem that they were already aware of. My in laws and sister also bought the same TV and they are both having the same problems....If you buy this TV get the extended Warranty!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Bang for Your Buck, August 12, 2004

By	Cotton I. Joe "cottonijoe1" (Northport, AL USA) - See all my reviews

I love this TV. Period. I paid $3,499 for it at a franchise electronics store; it was delivered four days later; and now I can't wait to get home from work every night and watch it. Watching a high quality DVD through one of the two HD inputs is an awesome experience.

At the store, I looked at it next to a Mitsubishi 65" CRT and a Samsung 55" plasma. It annihilated the CRT and held its own with the plasma (for about half the price of the plasma). That is what sold me.

It has just the right number of inputs for my AV system. The picture quality for HD input is incredible. For SD inputs, it is so-so, but that is mostly the lower quality signal.
It is also a great looking cabinet.

I had read that Sony had some problems with the model's lamp blowing out earlier this year, but I understood that was fixed; so I took a chance. My unit has a June 2004 manufacturing date, and I have had it about a week now. No problems; just a beautiful picture at a very affordable price.
