      by mweflen, Jan. 20, 2004

    • Comments:
      I purchased my first KF42WE610 in late October. This set, which had been manufactured in September, began to show the dreaded buzz/nostart problem about 2 weeks into my ownership of it. Then, 3 weeks in, a red bloom appeared to the left of center on the s...

    • Has Owned Product: 1 month

      Owned it for about a month and the lamp went out twice. Sony customer service poor in responding and at all supportive. I would not buy it again until Sony can resolve this problem with this product. ...

    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Great picture, bad product
      by NWBuilder, Jan. 7, 2004
    • Pros: Great picture when it works.
    • Cons: Bulb out in 1 month. I hear I'm lucky, most burn out in less
    • Has Owned Product: 1 month
    • Comments:
      High end TV with an awesome picture. Too many problems for what I paid for it. After the fact, I'm hearing people lose their bulbs from hours after first plugging it in to less then 3 weeks. Sony will have a serious problem if this doesn't get fixed soon. ...

    • Pros: Great picture
    • Cons: Major quality problem - lamp will fail within weeks
    • Has Owned Product: 1 month
    • Comments:
      I bought this TV in late Nov. and had the lamp fail on me within 5 weeks. Apparently Sony has a major quality problem with the lamp vendor and a significant number of these sets are failing within a few hundred hours !! Sony is out of spare lamps and as...

    • Comments:
      When it worked, this TV had the best picture in it's price range by far, no comparison. The size and weight were also attractive. Unfortunately, it only worked for one day. The green light blinks, it makes a buzzing sound, then the red lamp light blink...

      This 42” Television is the best investment to own. Even without HDTV reception it exceptional in the following categories: 4:3 aspect ratio which turns the wide screen into normal 42” screen w/o cutting the top or bottom of the picture off. PIP M...

    • Product Rating: 1 star(s) Won't turn on.
      by charles, Dec. 10, 2003
    • Pros: great when it works
    • Cons: design flaw
    • Has Owned Product: 6 weeks
    • Comments:
      Before buying this set, you should read the reports of a problem in the lamping system. After a few weeks, mine refused to turn on. No picture, just a buzzing sound. Here's the link to one discussion thread: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthre...

      This is the best T/V purchase I have ever made. (and I have made a lot of them over time.) The picture is the first and best thing about it, and there are many other very good things. The overall size, the weight, and style is great, the sound from the se...

    • Comments:
      Highly recomend this LCD TV. I have been examening these TV's for weeks and The Sony LCD and the Samsung DLP were my first choices. The DLP has a bit better clarity and shows truer blacks and whites, but for the money its really not noticable at all, an...
