Subject: [H] Sony KDS-R60XBR1 or NOT
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.
