Sony Manufacturing TV's that only last 2 years before they are junk Nationwide
I purchased a Sony 65" 3 D tv that at the time was a new model 26 months ago thinking it was of higher quality. In 2 hours time one night it developed horizontal thin lines going across the screen then darken on the left side of the screen. I have been in the electronics repair business for over 30 years and if properly made this would not happen. My research uncovered a number of other people have had similar experiences and it turned out to be the actual LCD screen goes bad making the tv economically repairable. This is unaceptable. You pay a premium price for a cheaply made product. During my investigation and troubleshooting I found the screen is actually made by Sharp. I did contact Sony customer service and was passed around to several departments with no satisfaction. Apparently no one who works there is authorized to do anything to satisfy a customers issues.
