Topic: TV Replacement Help Plz!

Okay, so previously I bought a Sony KLV46X350A (1.5 years ago) - it was top of the line (more or less) for an LCD TV back then, and comparitively it was the biggest upgrade ever for us - basically it was awesome!

Anyway, now its kinda crapped out on us, but thx to the Extended Warranty that we purchased, we sent it in for Service.

Apparently it's 'not economical' to fix it now (yay!) - and now company is providing a replacement.

They're suggesting a Sony KDL46WE5.

Is this a fair replacement?  Is there something better? I'm kinda out of touch with TV specs atm.

(Keep in mind this is in New Zealand too - so may not have full availability on all TV models)

Re: TV Replacement Help Plz!

Doesn't the warranty say they are entitled to give what they deem a suitable replacement? In which case your opinion won't matter too much.

If I think its completely unsuitable - then I will fight for it.

As it is, they're asking me to pay for new Extended warranty and have provided options for 3 years and 5 years.  Don't know if this is the norm - but I'm gonna look into this too.

Re: TV Replacement Help Plz!

dont bother fighting over it if it is clearly stated on the warranty.

would be better if u just look around the local shops for similar model and see how much they cost.

i love you all!

there's nothing on anyhow

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
