Great Performance, no product support

Which similar products have you used?

Philips, Sony, Panasonic TVs

Summary

A great performing TV if you are lucky enough not to need to claim on the warranty. However, if anything goes wrong do not expect Sony to do anything else but walk away.

How long have you used the product?

More than 3 months

What are the strengths?
The sound is better than any other flat screen TV I have heard and the picture is definitely worthy of the high test ratings it receives.
What are the weaknesses?
Sony’s product quality should be taken into account before purchasing. I am on my third TV the previous two a W and Z series having failed. My current Z series is now suffering from problems with the front of the screen, a small pin sized piece actually fell out (now a tiny brilliant white light in the picture). Unbelievable for a 7 month’s old £1000+ TV. Sony’s response being that it is only a “limited warranty” and even told the supplying dealer the same. So if you can take the risk on Sony quality and are lucky it is a great TV.

Summary

I visted so many retailers & looked at their Televisions - can honestly say - delighted with the final choice.

How long have you used the product?

Less than 1 month

What are the strengths?
After spending a very long time chosing a television & reading every review possible - finally went for the Sony KDLZ4500. Visted the local Sony Centre to view both this one & the KDLW4500 side by side - you can tell the difference in picture quality. Very pleased with the picture - very clear / sharp - sports pictures are great.Good pictures on all formats Digital / Freeview & Standard. Do not have HD yet - but if these pictures are anything to go by then they will be fantastic. Purchased the TV from Electro Centre some £500 less than the Sony Centre wanted - Great service - prompt delivery - overall 1st class - well done !
What are the weaknesses?
None at present
