Technological marvel
Pros: There is no picture as beautiful
Cons: Waiting for Sony to remedy the problem. But was worth the wait
We bought our orginal KDS50XRB1 in Feb 06. The set was replaced in Aug of 06, because of Green glob on screen. But appeared again in June 08. But thanks to Sonys Optical Engine upgrade, from the original plastic, to glass lens (replaced free of charge) the picture was more outstanding than it was when new, which I could'nt believe was possible! !We trusted Sony to remedy the issue, and eventually did. The reason we stuck with this set ,was because we could'nt find another one out there that was as beautiful or have the picture quality this set provided for the price. We looked at every brand and format. I'm proud to say our patience paid off. Thank you Sony for the privlege to own this wonderful and amazing technology.
