New member Username: Sony_wega_hdtvPost Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05 | Guys, This forum is great... I learnt a lot reading other threads... I have a SONY LCD rear projection (kf-60we610) bought June 2004 and the issue I am about to mention has happened twice so far once about 3 months ago and once about 2 weeks ago but it has me worried and I can't get any answers from SONY and the warranty has expired (1 yr all parts and labor). 2 yrs on screen is still valid though. Issue: When you switch off the power the power indicator goes from green to red and screen becomes blank but it stays illuminated for about 5 seconds before it completely shuts off and then screen becomes dark but 2 times it has happned with me that I switched off the power , indicator went from green to red but the screen just stayed illuminted for 4-5 hours before I decided to uplug the unit. During the time when it was shut off but screen still lit I tried to turn the power on but it wouldn't come on... the power indictor light just kept blinking in red. Unplugging and plugging back in fixed the issue and I was able to power the unit on but I am worried what if this issue escalates and start happening more often and if this is causing some internal damage. Has anyone encountered such issue and if yes, what did you do? Thanks , SWH |

Good Luck |

Next time do some research before buying that technology. I am sure others are reading your thread with interest. Some will buy anyway "hoping" it won't happen to them. Don't you know that nearly all agree with the notion that you HAVE to fork up another 25% for an Extended Warranty on ANY DLP set? Even Sony sells them!! Cut your loses sell the set to another unsusprcting victim and buy a real TV. |

Silver Member Username: Tombo777Post Number: 528 Registered: Jul-05 | You know what I ment DLP4ME.... ANY SET that uses that pesky $300 lamp is in the same bag for me whether DLP or RPLCD. IN BOTH Cases those "in the know" ALWAYS recommed the purchase of an Extended Warranty. IN fact I believe the LCD is a better choice if only because it does not use all the moving parts on that DMD chip and the spinning noisy Color wheel. I stand corrected on my DLP vs LCD mistake with regard to SONY. But not of the rip off of BOTH technologies that use an expensive lamp that rarely seems to last more then a year or two for too many. |

Silver Member Username: Dlp4mePost Number: 184 Registered: May-05 | You intellectualy impotent types are fun to mess with, tom! Since you seem to keep repeating yourself to stay in the forefront of the forum, let me assure you that I can do the same. There are over 5 million DLP's in service from over 75 makers, and you group a few glitches from two forums, form a shallow, narrow minded opinion, and crusade to pan a truly wonderful display revolution. You haven't even owned one yet, but they're all chopped liver to you. Your effort to compare CRT to lamp projector technology and then claim that consumable lamps in DLP's are proof of a flawed technology is absurd. I see where you whine about millions of flipping mirrors, but I can't find a failed DMD chip thread. You cry about spinning color wheels, but I can't find the failed color wheel thread, either. I see where you have grouped Panasonic LCD lamp failures and Sony LCD display failures in with DLP to form your opinions. Honest objectivity is absent from your determinations. You may have convinced yourself that DLP is not one of the highest quality displays in the history of display technology and that's fine. Preaching your non-objective bulshit opinions on others to the extent that you have (455 posts since July) is a whole new twisted motivation that many folks will find disturbing. Perhaps you should consult a professional shrink about this bizzar obsession of yours. I'm all for anyone choosing the product they want. Makes no difference to me. Until D-ILA LCOS is a faster refreshing proven technology, I'm of the opinion that the DLP display is the absolute best available on the market today. It's a brilliant, sharp, clear, accurately colorful experience with the right signal put to it. It can't even be matched by anything out there in my opinion. DLP is the superior and preferred projection technology of professional Cinemas. They have billions invested to display content the way that producers and directors intended. With 35 trillion colors (8 times more than film) and no fade or flutter it has surpassed film in reproductive display quality. Having a mini version of that in my home has been an incredible pleasure for me. I highly reccommend that anyone interested in having the very best in home theater consider a beautiful DLP display of their choice. Compliment that with a quality surround sound system and pop some corn. Reasonably priced home theater doesn't get any better! |

YOu have the words of a slick salesman and the credibility as well. Other should give your "copy" the same relavance of the "weight loss pill" industry. |
