Sony KV36FS16 Wega

Peice of junk died after only 4 1/2 years! The cost to repair it wont be worth it. I called Sony (who's customer support is the worst!) and asked them, if they build a product that fails right after the warranty expires what should I do? They offered...

Top-Notch Picture Box

In a nutshell, this is as good as "standard" TV's are likely to get. This set (purchased summer of '01) replaces a similarly-sized but 12 year-old Philips television that stopped showing color. Bummer... That was a great set.

I don't like the silver color
