We purchaced a sony bravia about 4 years ago and it failed we spoke to theservie dept and were told that the life expectancy for that tv was 4 years we have a ref no 2535442 i feel that if that is the amount of time for a tv is 4 years then its time to change products we have used sony for more years than i can recall but if thats the product of today then u can bet i wont ever buy another sony product if the information is correct i will buy a cheaper set that will probabley still last 4 years i hope this email reaches someone who cares larry cox
Depending on the type of TV, the longevity can be affected significantly. If your TV is a plasma model, they run very hot and the plasma only lasts about 4-5 years. That is why plasma is no longer being made by any of the major manufacturers. It was state of the art when it came out, but now LED TVs are the standard. They use much less energy, run a lot cooler and last much longer.
Longevity really depends upon the technology used, not always who made it.

80% of TVs are having this same problem in different brands.
I'm sure Carlos meant well. If you took it to someone to have it fixed, then yes, it would be cheaper to by a new TV. ( Labor + Part )
But, if you can repair your TV yourself for less than a $100 vs buying a new TV for over $450, would it be worth it? ( Part alone )
If you or someone you know can replace a whole ciruit board, then it can be fixed.
Here's a web site to get the replacement board:

You'll just need to find the right one by looking at yours. Your backlight board will have letters & numbers on it for a board model#. It should be easy to find one and replace it.

You are going to find it is a LCD panel problem. I am sure that they will take care of you. But also realize that this could have happen to any brand of LCD panel and you will probably not have any other panel issues once it is fixed.

go into menu, look for picture or setup mode. in setup look for chroma/color & tint/tone controls. you should be able to adjust to personal preferences. one other setting, is the color temp setting. this will allow you to change to warmer back wash. hope this helps because the Bravia is a good set

Sony is replacing LCD Panels at no charge until October 31 2012. The KDL46XBR4 and KDL46XBR5. If you paid to repair they'll pay you the cash back you paid to repair it.
