Sony KE42M1 42-Inch M Series WEGA EDTV-Ready Flat-Panel Plasma TV
Consider purchasing a different model.
After owning this unit for just over one month it developed an annoying hiss. <br /> <br />Sony's repair service initially diagnosed the problem as a faulty video board.  A new video board was installed but proved defective. <br /> <br />The repair service man plans to return to put in another video board, but they are no longer sure that this will solve the problem.  The repair service gentleman's second guess is that the annoying sound may be coming from two internal fans, in which case they say that we'll just have to live with the problem. <br /> <br />Beware of this unit.  The hiss that we hear can be heard from two rooms away and is a constant reminder that we purchased an inferior product. <br /> <br />p.s. <br />In case you think that we are bashing Sony, think again.  In the past we have enjoyed many of Sony's products.  While we may purchase other Sony products in the future, we recommend that others stay away from this particular unit. <br />
