We have been using Somy LCD TV for past 2 years and it has started showing screen problems.
Why Sony?
Sony is a global leader in electronics. The brand Sony has a lot of weitage and people go for sony even though ita costly.
Likes:
Sony brand. Price was higher than other LCD TVs but still we went for it.
Dislikes:
We did not buy the plasma TV as it was a costlier product. But LCD did not perform as good as we thought. The clarity was good but compared to other palsma TVs it paled.
Final Recomendation:
Spend a little more cash and go for sony plasma but not for LCD tvs as soon you will see the difference.
