User Submitted Sony KV36XBR450 36" XBR Flat-Screen HDTV Reviews Date: 2009-11-11 Great TV for its age My dad bought this TV in Nov of 2001, had it a few years and gave it to us about 4-5 years ago when he bought another Sony LCD TV and it is still in perfect working condition. We have 2 kids so we use it daily and I'm surprised to read that so many people had problems with the TV going blank. The picture quality is great considering it's old technology. The only downside is that it's such a heavy beast. We are finally biting the bullet and hope to upgrade to LCD TV this Christmas season. I hope our next TV lasts as long as our current Sony. 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! * Price is subject to change. |
