Does anyone know if the IF product design gold award given to this tv applies only when the set is switched off !!! Tongue

not only got the IF award but now has an EISA as well puzzled

all What Hi Fi needs to do now is top it with a tv of the year award!! rolling on the floor laughing

 

What is going on with you now Andy, are you still waiting for a new one?  Or have you now given up and are going to buy another one instead?

 

Cheers

Just be in to the Sony Shop in Bournemouth where they have both the 46" and the 55" on display. Neither of them show any signs of this fault. party time! So hopefully a clean batch is starting to make its way into the stores.

RE: Faulty KDL55HX923

I'm over in the US and I also had the crease issue - although after watching this whole thing play out I feel like I originally had a pretty extreme case of the crease issue.

That said I had the screen replaced at Sony's suggestion and the replacement screen still has the crease. It's not as noticeable but now I'm having issues with the backlight, where it flickers when the screen goes from dark to bright on certain content - in addition to my blacks being not nearly as deep as they were on my original set.

Hoping that Sony will just replace the TV at this point and I'll live with whatever crease I get. Not ideal but I'd rather have the original crease than these new issues with the replacement panel.

What happens to your review

What happens to your review samples after you have finished with them?? ....... it seems maybe that is one of the only sets a consumer would be entirely happy with

What's your budget? Your musical preferences?

Which speakers have you got?

Webthunder - rather than take this thread off-topic, can I please ask that you re-post your receiver query in the appropriate Forum - direct link here.

Thanks Smile

They're returned to the manufacturer.

I've read about six reviews now and none of them have reported any issues with the crease, but from what I've seen and know it is possible for some people to possibly miss it, it they did not know it could be there.  It definitely seems to be different from set to set the crease with how it appears, and if you look at some sets you can't see anything unless it is on specific picture and even then you need to be standing in a specific position to notice something.

 

I hope Sony soon manage to sort it out for the people who have bought one, and for the people wanting to buy one.
