Vizio 3D HDTVs Detailed [Vizio Expands On Its XVT Pro Line of 3D HDTVs, HDMI 1.3, BlueTooth]

Mobile TV, OLED, 3D?

Why go there when the big boys can’t master 2D HDTV?

You don’t need 3D glasses to see what is perfectly wrong here.

My 2 year old Sony KDL46v3000 HDTV was an investment in a name brand gone bad. The telcon board is shot. It’s something I’m told that processes the digital signal to make beautiful pictures. The board can’t be purchased separately from the panel, which is the actual screen.

So, the repair is over $1,500.00. I had nothing more than the manufacturer’s one year warranty. I thought about the extended but didn’t for one reason: It’s a Sony. Well, it’s like going to Vegas with a can’t lose bet and going under.

The certified Sony tech who worked on the set says he’s seen this telcon board problem a few times. Too bad for me. It was my first HDTV purchase

I’m now in the market for a new TV- probably LCD. The question is: stay with the name brand or go lower end? I mean, after all, what’s the point of going with name brand (i.e., Sony) instead of a lower price when televisions have now become disposable items?

I’m following up with Sony. A nice customer service tech logged my call and said somebody will contact me. I wonder what Sony will do to keep me as a Sony customer? My guess is probably nothing. Too bad for them.

In the meantime, has anyone seen my rabbit ears?
