 Sony KDS-R50XBR worked great for almost 4 years April 6, 2010
Jim (San Antonio, TX)
This TV was purchased in late summer of 2006 and has delivered excellent, trouble-free picture quality until about January 2010. Now the picture has developed a green tint that is uniformly over entire screen. Have been told that it is the light engine and it will have to be replaced. The bill could be as much as a $1000, with labor.
 3+ years of repairs! December 12, 2009

This particular 60" KDS-R60XBR1 product from SONY is a $3,500++ piece of junk. Within the first 8 months of purchase, we had the dreaded green tint. Repair #1 warranty. 8 months later, GREEN hue. SONY did pay for repair post warranty. Issue #3, lamp goes out! $350/repair. Issue #4 play DVD, goes green again! Issue #5, Lamp goes out again! Finally, this morning, the old red blinking light (4 times) means a service call AGAIN! 6 Issues in 3.5 years on a SONY and nearly $1,000 in repairs. It's like a bad relationship you keep going back to after a problem. Well, NO MORE! Off to buy a new 60" big screen. I don't know what the engineers were doing when they designed this at SONY. Must have been a team of new graduates. SONY is usually so reliable. My biggest gripe is that they should have had a total recall when so many problems arose and replaced the full TV with a different model.
green tint November 28, 2009

I bought this TV 2/06,it's in a 2nd home so it only gets used 6 months out of the year. I noticed the picture getting darker last year but thought it was the projection lamp burning out. This year the green tint, plus an area of approximately 7x3 inches that looks like a water stain appeared. The stain is only noticeable when the TV is on and the screen is light in that area. I purchased a new lamp, it made no difference in the TV. I called Sony and was told since the warranty with them had expired there was nothing they would do,HOWEVER, they had an offer for me, they offered to sell me my pick from 3 different Sony models, at factory price, they would deliver it from their factory. They told me I had to let them know right now if I was going to accept or decline this offer. I asked them what they would do with the old set,they said when the truck brought the new set they would verify the serial number on the old set ,and that was that. Why on earth would they think I would throw out a set I paid $3000.00 for and buy a new one from them? They never said a thing about the optical block or any known defect. When I got off the phone I found this site and read all the other comments about this defect. I called RC Willey where I bought the set and found out I had bought an extended warranty through them(I'm still in shock,I never buy extended warranties on anything). Because of the people who take the time to write comments, I have a little knowlege when the TV repairman gets here,and hopefully there is a fix as some suggest. I looked at new TV's tonight and there is nothing that compares to the look of this Sony and the TV stand that was made for it. Wish me luck!
Sony TV disappointed me... I'll never buy SONY TV again!!! August 10, 2009

I always loved Sony TV until I have this one. It's a big disappointment. At first the TV was working just fine, then it start to turn off by itseft. Sometimes, it turn off itself right after I just turn on. Then one day it just won't turn on at all. I thought the lamp was bad, so I replace the lamp but that didn't fix the problems. Called Sony and was told this is out of warranty because I have the TV a little bit over 2 years. They gave me a couple numbers to call for repair. They found out the circuit board of the TV is bad and the total call to fix this TV is $730. Plus they also told me the light engine will be next to be broken too. SONY TV SUCKS!!! I'll never buy SONY TV again!!!
 Fixing Green Screen cost more than TV now August 7, 2009
Greg Duez (Saint Louis, MO United States)
This TV gets a green tint that takes over. The extended warrenty with the company went until June 30th 2009. To replace the part cost $1500 with installation. Get maybe 2 years with a good picture then your out of luck. This is a bad purchase and I'm stuck with it.
