My old Sony 53-inch RPTV that I bought back in '99 is starting to
go....twice now, I've found it in some funky video state that makes it look
as though the guns are misaligned (the first time it stayed in that state
for almost two weeks until I did a autoalign). Then it goes back into focus
for a time, and then seems to revert to a funky state again....
I paid like $3300 for this guy - a 4x3 non HD picture. Still an ok image
for DVDs when its working. No HD, though.
Anyone know if this tech is worth trying to have fixed?
As a possible replacement, I'm thinking of springing for a KDS R60XBR1 for
about 4k. A lot of dough, plus I'd have to get some kind of stand...one you
only live once, right?
Anyone experience this unit first-hand? I'd probably buy it at best buy, to
get their reward points. I've got a 12% off coupon, but it ain't good on
Sony XBRs. Any other possible model worth looking at to use that coupon?
Thanks.
