I've had this TV for 4.5 years. Good picture when there's no problems. Had in if for service just after the warranty ended, blue lines, for some type of High Voltage component and Kronis (spelling?)$725. This time, 1.5 years later, red blinks and the tv will shut itself off to stand-by. Turn it back on and it's ok for a while until in goes red again, may be 5 minutes or 5 days. $900 this time, I have two of three tubes going bad that normally don't go bad for about 10 years. The service rep states this is defective parts, but Sony refuses to step up. The repair bill for 4.5 years is more than it cost me new! The Rep agrees that I should not have to pay for this and that if Sony does not step up then he recommeded that I not fix it but buy another TV.
