not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in but it gets maximum exposure here and would like some help from my fellow forum members please.
I purchased this excellent TV on 27th August 2013 and it was bought with the Sony 5 year warranty, or so I thought. The assistant at the TV showroom neglected to send the documents off to Sony and now there is an issue and a situation.
The issue is horizontal black wire like lines and graduated banding in the middle of the screen, not great and very distracting.
The situation is, the dealer who I spoke to a year and a half ago with another issue, told me of this neglect to send the documents to Sony for the extended warranty and was covering the warranty himself. I have received no documents or anything that say this, just emails back and forth. I am pretty sure that Sony don't make these panels anymore and the chances of repair are slim, so am a bit concerned as to what will happen here.
I have also noticed that the dealer has changed their company name slightly from when I purchased the TV, they are at the exact same address and have the same phone number though.
Has anybody had to have one of these TVs repaired/replaced by Sony? Has anybody been in a similar situation to this and what was your outcome?
Thanks in advance for any help, I have added a photo of the offending lines!
