we paid big bucks for a Sony LCD when we got the new house but it seems Sony has a real issue with their "Optical Block" which (as far as I can figure out) is what projects the colors on the screen to make the picture on the LCD

so if you are considering a rear projection Sony LCD TV, RUN don't walk the other way........

We're in the process of fighting it out with Sony to cover the costs of repair, but if the stories on the internet are any indication, that will only buy us a couple more years (maybe) of service until it starts again.

I guess we'll be spending the 'stimulus' check after all on a new TV
