Hi there,
I'd been waiting nearly 3 months for my 52" EX703. I finally got it the other day and I'm sorry to say that I have the dreaded cone issue! I'm Gutted as I love everything else about this set and have spent the last few days trying to decide whether I could live with. It's not noticable during movies ( courtesy of the black bands at the top and bottom of the screen), nor during gaming, but during general viewing it's very obvious, especially whilst panning on sports. Watching the world cup has been a painful experience!
Honestly, how can Sony let this rubbish out the door? This forum is littered with similar complaints on their LED TV's. Do they not quality check their products? Shame on them!!!
Anyway, I've now decided it's got to go, but the other issue I have is that I got this TV through my brother-in-law who works for Sony. The cost of the TV was deducted from his salary. I don't think I'm gonna be able to walk into a Sony Centre and demand my money back given the way it was paid for am I? Therefore, I assume I will be allowed to choose another Sony TV of equivalent value. I guess this means I will have £1,699 store credit to use. So what should I get? I really love the slim design of the LED sets, but do they all suffer from this coning issue. Or have I just been unlucky? I mean are there LED sets that are fine out there? I suspect not.
So assuming I end up having to avoid LED, what the best bet? The 55" EX500 might be and option. I've been reading some good things about this set. So c'mon guys, what do you think I should do?
Cheers,
Dan
