(i've posted this on Cnert reviews also) i have the same black screen problem with the Sony TRV22 (where it can only playback and NOT record - which is usually the function of a TV). I've had it for about two years now. After the 9th month it stopped working for a day (which was the end of my honeymoon) and then the next day it was working fine.. strange.. Then 6 months later it stopped working again, but this time for good. After reading thru all the posts it seems like i was lucky to get a little over year out of it! YAY! and now I have a $600 2 inch TV!(that only plays miniDV) anyway, Strauss Repair Center (in Washington DC) said they would repair it for $270. i told them no way. It seems like Sony gambled by using a cheap component in their cameras.. and hopefully now its going to backfire in their face because more and more people are coming forward with complaints.
