Tony V, I hear ya about Sony. I've vented about this in other posts, but my parents had a 1979 Sony 26" console. That thing had the best damn picture and lasted almost 20 years until the picture tube went bad. It had the red smearing and started having internal arching. The tube was still available, but those 26" are expensive! In 2004 (thinking Sony was still "da bomb") I bought a new 24" Sony Wega. The set had an awful picture. Mainly it was waaayyyyy to dark, even with the brightness on MAX. I started looking at e-opinion posts and that was a common complaint along with power problems. Seems they like to go out within a few months. I had the store take it back and bring a new Toshiba flat screen. My 1979 Zenith System 3 I use in the bedroom has a better picture tho.
