Digitalspirit.'s Review of Sony KV-28FQ75 Widescreen TV

12th May 2002

Overall Rating

2.5 stars
  • Value for money
    2.5 stars
Good Points

Picture is reasonably good.


Bad Points

Scrolling vertical bars evident in the background on all models, especially when using the rear AV sockets. I've had 2 sets and a supposed repair (extended screening on the j board). BE WARNED Sony are aware of this problem and are still selling these TV's with the problem. See www.whatvideotv.com for further information on this fault. The sound is also on the weak side.


General Comments

Sony KV-28FQ75 Widescreen TV-My first purchase of a widescreen has yielded nothing but sorrow. Two sets and one repair later and I feel cheated and misinformed. I used to think Sony was a brand you could trust. However, it seems that money is the only thing they are interested in and not the quality of yesteryear. Only thing is which TV do I buy? They all seem to be no better than one another, why not get the technology right before releasing it?

    I found this review very accurate and helpful. I purchased a Sony KV32FQ75 and noticed it's faults straight away: Bending on the horizontal and vertical lines and when I was viewing Sky television I found that the browser had a bend in the middle which was completely unacceptable.

    I have also had the deep misfortune of buying this TV. With mine the teletext and OSD chip went capput exactly 12 months and 2 weeks after I bought it. Paid £250 for a repair - thanks Sony - good service that. I asked Sony if there was a known problem or high failure rate for this component - but they wouldn't comment.

    When I got it back I noticed the vertical scrolling contrast line badly - it's very visible and highly distracting.

    My personal experience is that Sony product is very poor quality and massively over-priced. This is compounded by contemptous customer service. I will avoid Sony in the future like the plague.
