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!

This TV is the best! Haven't had a problem yet. We just bought this Tv for $500 from a friend because it was too big for his house. We love it!

My Sony Vega 60 inch operated for only ten months when the screen went black. It appears to be the lamp b/c the lamp light is blinking. Sony has said it is NOT going to honor the warranty, even though the tv operated for only ten months, b/c the warranty takes effect from the date of purchase, not the date of install. I called 3 days out of the warranty. So even though I can prove the tv was still in the box at the store, I have to pay myself this expense. No TV that costs this much should operate only ten months. SONY YOU SUCK.

We bought this television in Jan. 04 and have never had any problems with it. The picture is outstanding and no problems with the sound. We have hdtv cable so maybe that helps. I hope by writing this review I don't jinx myself. I would buy this t.v. again. Don't let the negative reviews bother you---we are quite happy.

I've had mine since last May and I love it. I just had the picture calibrate and it's even greater I didn't think it was possible but it's absolutly the best picture you could possibly get in HD AND DVD I've always been a Mits. tv owner but I'm glad I went with this SONY model. [...]. You wouln't belive how it looks after he is done. WOW is all I can really say. I also have the HR10-250 HD TIVO and I can watch all recorded shows in HD and you can't even tell they are recorded they look just like your watching a live show instead of having that taped look. Well when I seen this board I had to write because I wouln't be doing all of you a favor by giving you a heads up on this TV I also looked and searched before I bought this. I wanna say that if you are going to spend thousands of dollars on any HDTV you should spend the extra 400 to 500 dollars to have it ISF CALIBRATE I didn't know this man at all but he had some great reviews on HDTVoice.com he travels all over the country so you have to set up an appointment. Again to anyone who has or is gonna buy a HDTV you should put into your budget the cost to get it calibrate it makes such a difference. WELL ENJOY I WATCH EVERYTHING IN HIGH DEF NOW AND IT'S GREAT SO I HOPE AND WISH ALL OF YOU WELL ON YOUR JORNEY TO YOUR NEW WORLD OF TV WATCHING IN HIGH DEF. [...]
