CustomerReviews
A Dice Roll
A lot of potential problems with this model. We have had three various Sony products, and none have lasted longer than a year and a half. Our advice is to look elsewhere.
Great when it works. LOUSY Sony customer service!!!
Be very careful. I purchased both 46″ and 40″ XBR4. Great picture but chip sets in each TV have had to be replaced. First chip set was within one year warranty. Second chip set was one month out of warranty and Sony refused to honor warranty until multiple communications from dealer and from authorized repair facility at which point (after 15 phone calls and two months) they finally agreed to pay for $400 of a $600 repair. Problems revolved around HDMI connections (which we originally thought was a handshake issue) Great product when it works, but dreadful customer service, suggesting buyer beware or at very least consider extended warranty.
Buyer Beware
We purchased this television one year ago today. It has not worked for two months. We have spent endless hours with the Customer Service Dept on the phone. The parts (computer & panel) just went out on it for no reason. They do not have the parts to fix the television. They offered us a refurbished TV (someone elses problem TV) which we declined. If you take the refurbished TV, our warranty and extended warranty are null and void. We wanted ours fixed. Customer Service (India I suppose) lied numerous times regarding the delivery date of the parts. We went from “the Authorized Dealer will receive the part in 2 days” to “it is backordered until the end of February”. They offered us a brand new xbr6 television replacement for an additional $300.00. They said it would be here within two weeks. No sight of that. Sony Customer Service is the worst I have ever dealt with, a bunch of liars. If you get lucky and get a TV with no problems, then you are good. I advise against buying any Sony products. I know I won’t.
Can’t go wrong with XBR
this is one of the best 40″ 1080p out there. Can’t go wrong with this price. the noise is not big deal at all. you watch TV with a volume on… right! love this T.V. 32xbr for my bed room and this one for living room…
Awesome Product!
I did alot of research before I bought this television and it has the most amazing picture and color. I would recommend to anyone you won’t be disappointed!
