- This is in response to the anger that has been vented against Sony for their
- tv sets especially the XBR series. I can understand the outrage when
- something is bought and doesn't work to specifications and when customer
- service and repair are not obliging. I don't quite understand understand a
- couple of things however and it may be because I haven't followed the thread
- from the beginning. Apparently Mr. Ricciardi had a problem with geometric
- distortion on his set (as do others) and have felt obligated to either
- attempt adjustment themselves or have called their sets in for service. From
- what I understand, the techs either can't or won't "fix" them and fixing the
- sets themselves is not working.
-
- Did the sets in the showroom exhibet this problem? If so, why did these
- individuals buy them? If they didn't, than thats a different story.
-
- From my own experience, I've owned Sony tv sets now including my current 27"
- XBR for fifteen years now. I have never experienced a problem and absolutely
- love the picture. I personally know four people with 27" Sonys (XBR and
- Trinitron sets) that have no problems whatsoever with either reliability or
- geometric distortion. I would wholeheartedly purchase another Sony tv set in
- the future.
-
- I just wanted to place a different viewpoint onto the net so that people
- don't think that Sony XBRs are total garbage to be avoided. I'm a happy owner
- along with four of my friends.
-
- I hope the people who are having problems that are legitimate will acquire
- satisfation. Please keep us posted.
