At one point in time SONY built the best TV's in the world. I became a loyal follower. Then I bought a 55" five years ago. About the third year it started having a bad picture when it was turned on. It would warm up after ten or fifteen minutes it would be work itself out. It was getting worse and I decided to check in to it. I found that it was a common problem with that model. So bad that Sony had actually extended the warranty several years. Of course I found this out six months to late to have the TV exchanged out under warranty. It was a high end model at the time I bought it.

I have been looking for another TV, and will probably buy one after the first of the year. I suggest you read the reviews closely. There are several models that SONY has right now that have multiple complaints about Light Leaks. One model is priced in the mid range and has awful reviews from buyers, for a TV that cost several thousand is ridiculous.

So maybe you will buy yours soon and lets us know what you decide. It might save me some leg work.
