Has anyone had experience with Sony warranty on this TV?

I talked to the Sony warranty people for over an hour today. This is some of last years 4k parts, so it does have a track record. The panel is new just coming out in September. The one thing I like about the Sony is that they are not getting the Chinese boards. Way too many quality control issues coming out of the student free labor in these electronic plants. The tech high school kids are working for free and the quality shows. Samsung and Panasonic have had quality issues in both the Plasma and LCD/LED, read all the reviews here and you will see what I mean. I own two Samsung's, and switched to Sony, because of returning 3-Plasmas, 3-blu-rays, and having my current Samsung LED fixed twice. I own a PS3 and it just runs, when my Samsung Blu-rays would not. See my latest review on the size of pixels for repair under warranty.

Thanks for your question. Sony is typically very good with providing warranty service on items within the warranty period. Thanks very much

We've had ours over a year with no problems and did not purchase warranty. I know Consumer Reports said that new TVs usually last well past their original warranty and don't recommendpurchasing additional insurance.

Yes, I am having the same issue with my same model television. Mine was purchased the end of 2/08, it started doing that about a month ago and it is out of warranty. Have you had your repaired? If so, what was the cost? wants $150 just to come out and diagnose the problem.

I purchased the Square Trade warranty on mine when I ordered it here on Amazon. Since we haven't gotten past the first year, I haven't had a chance to utilize it yet. I have had a repair (a defect from the factory), but I think that was handled by Vizio themselves. Otherwise, the TV has been wonderful so far.

I have not experienced that problem at all with mine! It's been a great tv so far.

Extended warranties are the biggest scam on the planet - if you do buy them they will find some reason some how to not honor it. This TV has been great for me, definitely a great buy!

Called Samsung but they weren't helpful....without an extended warranty, I'm out of luck. Only bright spot: It hasn't gotten worse. Now we're in the habit of turning on the TV, leaving for half an hour, and then coming back to it. It usually resolves by then...usually. But it's a big pain. Definitely never buying another Samsung. Let me know if you hear anything.

Amazon is merely a third party vendor selling someone else's products. If you really want to know the length of the warranty, it would be best to ask the maker of the product. At least that's what I would do. I purchased the item about 2 yrs ago for my Sony TV and it still works fine. Installation was easy. Had I not tossed the box I could tell you.

If he TV does start to have problems, How do you go about using the two year warranty. In other words who you would contact? Amazon or TCL customer support???

Actually the warranty on the tv is one year parts, labor & the panel/backlight. The 90 day warranty is only on accessories such as the remote control.

We are having the exact same problem with our TV, it just started this week...bought it 2 yrs ago..this should not be happening to something I paid $1400 for...Have you called Samsung? We are going to, but since the TV is out of warranty it will not matter.

I just got a refurb 46" Samsung LNT4669F from Amazon Warehouse deals and it is fantastic. Plus, we saved well over $600 by not buying new. You still get the Samsung 1-year warranty. If you don't like the condition of the t.v. when it's delivered, just refuse it. If you notice a problem later, call amazon and they will arrange pick-up for the defective television.

It has a one year limijed warranty on parts, and labor. A very classy TV, you'll love it!

I have been a life-long Sony fan. I bought my first Samsung TV (UN55B8000) 8 months ago and am totally satisfied. I have not experienced any issues whatsoever. The picture quality and price of the Samsung blows anything Sony had at the time I made my purchase. I highly recommend Samsung!

vilasgn,I also took the gamble with a used-very good. The tv showed up 2 days ago, and it looks great, like brand new. We can't figure out what's supposed to be wrong with it, for them to take off $300, but I am glad I went for it. Fingers crossed you'll have the same experience I did.
