Sony KV36XBR450 36" XBR Flat-Screen HDTV
Good picture, but not very reliable
I had this TV for about 2 and 1/2 years, and the picture just went blank.  The TV shuts itself down after few seconds.  I had a local TV repair service take a look at the problem, and he said that I need a new tube.  He said he would do it for $1,200.  I like the over all picture quality and the design of the TV set, but having the tube last only 2 and 1/2 years is not acceptable.  I'm very disappointed at the reliability of Sony TV.
