I can sympathize, their low end stuff worse than Walmart junk. OTOH, some of their products are quite good. Their old Trinitron CRTs, when good, were awesome. I say "when good" cuz their 17" trini mons had a failure rate of one in three! My mom has a whole wall of Sony junk. VCRs, cassette decks, CD players, equalizers, amps, DVD, etc. All dead!! Only the 30" trini TV and the vaio desktop computer (17" trini mon) still work like they are brand new. Both at least a decade old. This computer is a Sony Vaio. Of course it's all Asus mobo and other components, the lone installed Sony DVD player having died. Still have a Sony digital vid camera that works. And a 20 yr old steel cased D15 Sony CD player. All the rest is junk. Overall, I wouldn't buy Sony anything, either. Then again, most Japanese electronics is no better. It's a crap shoot. By the turn of the century, I had a garage full of expired Japanese electronics junk from stereo systems to cameras to TVs, etc. Most barely made the warrantee period. Anymore, I buy the cheapest piece of junk from Walmart that will do the job. So I hafta replace it in two yrs. Cheaper than replacing high priced junk. ;) nb -- vi --the heart of evil!

They became aware of the defect and extended the warranty to cover it. Sent a repairman to our home and repaired it. They're still on my good side. -- Dan Espen

Not interested. > That company will never again sell anything to me. At any price ?? I did not know you were looking to buy one in the first place. Plus, the led monitors were advertised in this group as being the monitors that had a far wider viewing angle than LCD monitors. My LCD monitor has a viewing angle of about 180 degrees. (It is hard to test around 180 degrees). This led monitor has a viewing angle of 89 degrees (89??? how the hell do they get single digit accuracy in the viewing angle?) which is far far less than that of a good LCD monitor. Why exactly would anyone buy a monitor that cost 10-20 times as much and has half the viewing angle? And how is this monitor an advertisement of the fact that LED monitors have a larger viewing angle than LCD monitors?

Except of course the article goes on to talk about Film people must liking to cozy together to look at the rushes on that monitor, implying that the angle is much less than on the more expense one. And it is hard to have greater than 90+90 Also this monitor is much cheaper than their other offering and the reason according to the article, is the restricted viewing angle. And I would hope that they would not regard 89 degrees a sizable restriction from 90 degrees. >

When young LCD picture quality was horrible and very expensive compared to CRT. Same with Plasma. CRT is dead, Plasma is still kicking, LCD is at its height. LED will supplant LCD in time since it is much thinner/lighter, far more energy efficient, much better color rendition, much faster response time, much much higher contrast ratio. Cost will come down in time. I'd bet that in 5 years LCD will no longer dominate. Stan

To people who know too much, it is a sad fact that they know how little is really possible - and how hard it is to achieve it.
