Alexander L 80 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Its ridiculous a top of the line TV costing millions could do that. Shame on Sony. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 After pushing his point, Sony gave in and agreed to replace the display. New one is better and he is happy with it. It must be difficult for the companies because a 100% perfect LCD is impossible (?). Apparently not, if they were able to replace it and make him happy. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 it shouldn't **** up in the first place and it should not require "pushing his point". I would be very disappointed on the first point and then very angry that they try to flob off with the second point. On the other hand, others, (not me) would be very happy going through this kind of redress just so that what you paid millions for actually does perform to spec. And be thankful for it.

klingon 10 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Shame on them for trying to fob off, but they did the good thing and replaced. But my LCD screen is not perfect, yours isn't. None are. It's impossible with current technology to get a 100% absolutely clean backlit large LCD screen. Link to post Share on other sites

sanjo 2 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Isn't it because of the backlight shining in from the sides? In normal viewing you probably won't be able to tell at all, but to a great or lesser degree it is there. They test them with a grey screen or you can see better if you have no input. Here's a very bad example of clouding Try to find a 100% perfect ipad or large tv screen, and you'll get a prize! Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 but that 4K is meant to be OLED. No fluorescent backlight but LEDs that provide their own lighting. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 oops NO. Not OLED. Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander L 80 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 OK, match of the day. They sold a TV for millions and it was defective. 1. It should not have been defective in the first place after going through QC and all that WAZZ 2. When it was reported that it wanked up, the service people said it was the state of the technology and just suck it up 3. Buyer had to bender the manufacturer for a replacement You comfortable with that multi million purchase? I'm saying it should not have gotten to stage 1 at all. Capish?

grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It doesn't cost 'millions'. Where are you getting that from? The same source as the one that told you it wasn't LCD? It costs between 500,000-600,000 yen. I would guess the service people for sony act under almost identical guidelines as those in other companies. I don't know what capish means, but capish?

grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 If I bought an expensive product, I would not be happy for it to not be 'perfect', no. But I would be happy that they replaced it for me if I complained about something that they actually say is within the limits, yes. As was mentioned, there is no such thing as an absolutely perfect LCD screen. I can't really see what you're getting your pants in a twist for. I suggest you don't buy an expensive LCD TV as you are it would seem doomed to be angry. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Here's some quality tech writing from the Yomiuri saying its called 4K because "they have four times more pixels than current high-vision TVs". http://the-japan-new...icle/0001214916 Link to post Share on other sites
