User Submitted Sony KV36XBR450 36" XBR Flat-Screen HDTV Reviews Date: 2009-01-06 What a disappointment I bought this tv in January of 2002 for $3,800 for the tv, the stand and a five year warranty. In December of 2008 the screen went dark. It would not start with the remote. If I disconnect every electrical outlet for several days, it will start up again, but will only last for a couple of days, as long as I don't turn it off. What a huge, huge disappointment from Sony. I was going to buy the 46" sony XBR6 LCD but I am quite afraid that I will experience the same disapointment with longer term use. I am now thinking I will never buy a Sony again, especially after reading about other people's problems with Sony TV's. I think I will buy the Samsung 46" LCD vs. the Sony. Even with the shutoff problem that requires firmware fix. Sony, Shame, Shame, Shame, on you. Date: 2008-12-26 Great Picture...When It Works I guess I should consider myself lucky. My TV lasted 5 years before the problems started. No video but the audio works. It happens randomly. I paid $500 to get it fixed and three months later the problem was back. I beginning to think that Sony bought a faulty component from a 3rd party because I bought a similar sized Samsung HD tube TV for my mother-in-law and after 6 years it's has the exact same problem. Date: 2007-10-22 Sony KV-36XBR450 is Great But has Flaws I've had this television set for about six years now. The picture quality is great, but anyone who has this television knows that it has problems. I have two problems mine; one is that it powers itself off when warm and the other is that the monitor (picture) won't turn on sometimes. My set has been repaired numerous times - I have had the power supply circuit and capacitors replaced. The total cost for all the repairs were about $750. These defects are likely to be engineering design flaws, one in which Sony should have corrected through testing (if they do any at all). The technology in Sony product is great and Sony claims that "we stand by our product" but I have yet to see any of their product lasts in the long run. Date: 2007-09-12 BEST TV EVER! I have owned this TV for 6 years and have not had a single problem. It has every feature you could imagine. I had bought a surround system with it but returned it because the built in 80 watt system sounded so good I didn't feel I needed it. 1080i HD picture quality can not be beaten! Date: 2007-08-15 Beautiful Picture, but Heavy, and Serious Problem after 4 years I purchased this TV in June of 2002. About August of 2006, it started to have intermittent problems of displaying a distorted output of the selected input along with parts of the output of the second tuner. Would come and go, normally after the TV had been on for a little while. Makes it impossible to watch TV when this is happening. I've been told by service company to expect $500 repair bill. When working, the picture is beautiful. This set is very heavy, about 235 pounds, which presents challenges in getting it serviced. No one wants to move it.
