Sony PFM-42V1/S 42-Inch PlasmaPro Flat Panel Display, Silver
Sony PFM-42V1
Had problems with this screen from the start. The image 'jogs' from side to side every so many seconds. It's not all that noticeable on a moving image, but gets very irritating once you're aware of it. Latest problem (nine months in) is a distinct loss of image quality when using s-video input. I'm told by Sony tech support that the s-video card is going out.<br /><br />Now, here's the clincher. To get any warranty work on this, I have to be without the screen for around 4+ weeks while they use the slowest (cheapest) method to get it to their service center. No loaner, no compensation... just a blank space on the wall.<br /><br />Ask yourself before you shell out for this screen - \\"what if it fails? Do I care if I'm without a TV for a month?<br /><br />Of course, you might not have any problems with the screen, in which case you'll be blissfully unaware of the terrible warranty service.
