Apprecaite the comments and hope all understand I did not post this in the hopes of casuing any loss of sales for Sony. I'm sure this issue is not a common occurance, and had Sony worked with me on even a partial compensation I would have been a happier customer.
I just wanted to give a heads up and strongly recommend purchasing extended coverage on these pricey display units. The one year warranty seems to be a standard thing with all brands, so guess none of the companies place much faith in thier products.

What video technology is the Sony? LCD rear-projection? Plasma panel? LCoS?



Alan: This was the Sony KDF-60WF655 and it is the LCD Rear Projection model.

Once the new set arrives, would you mind posting a comparison of the two sets? I'd be interested to see how they stack up against one another.




Shawn: Will post my thoughts once the new toy is here and have had time to play with it.


At this time I'm not sure what will be done with the Sony unit, guess it could work as a garage set, would keep the Axiom set up company........rather an expensive paper weight really. lol
