5 comments about Sony KP-57WS520 57-Inch Hi-Scan 1080i HD-Ready Projection TV.
- In 14 months, the TV does not power on. Stand by led keeps blinking. Manual says TV needs service. I called Sony 800 number. They referred to Norman Electronics in Atlanta area. Technician diagnosis indicate some part(s) are blown (fuse or diode). It'll cost anywhere between $400 and $650 to fix. No guarantee of the fix. It's very upsetting. Wife is upset as well.
My daughter can't watch her cartoons anymore. Sony will not fix.
If you search on google, "Stand by led keeps blinking". It appears that several people have experienced similar issues. Numerous blogs on this. Buyers Beware. Apparently, Normans Electronics does not have good reputation either. They are worst in customer service. They'll not give any diagnosis in writing, nor the part number. No guarantees of the fix. Sony should recall this model and repair all such issues for free. I'm willing to file suit (possibly class action suit on Sony) if others would like to join then email me at SamGabam@yahoo.com. Indicate subject line: "Sony TV". Are there any lawyers out there who would like to take this case then please send me an email with the same subject line. Again, do not buy this TV or any TVs that are Sony.
Thanks,
Sam.
- Same story as other reviewer. 14 months after purchase the TV dies and the on switch blinks 9 times pauses and blinks 9 times as a repeat pattern. 500$ to 600$ is the apparent cost to fix. They say it is probably a "deflector card" which they said is related to a power supply is probable because it makes no start-up sounds.
Sony refused to tell me what the 9 blink code pattern means and the repair service sounds like they are guessing at the cause and probability of fix. ("I'm 90 % sure"). But my service at least gaurantees either a fix or the cost of only a single service call (100$ for 5 minutes of taking the screws off the back).
If you buy this TV make sure to get the extended-&-re extended warranty (and factor it into costs of camparisons with TV's w/o the warranty.
I too have the (power supply?)interference referred to by another user and now understand why this TV never has been to quality expectations.
As long you get a lawyer who will cover "all" the costs of the class action suit (in other words don't poor any good money after the bad), I think you may have a winner.
- Great box for movies. I also have a High Def cable box connected to HDMI. HD channels look great, regular channels are mediocre. WS57 designed for letterbox movies. For example, this TV shines with widescreen movies. Recently bought Apollo 13 IMAX edition and it looked like film on the screen. I've had no problems with the unit in over a year. Downside for all projection TVs are viewing angle and size of unit (needs an entire corner of a room).
- I have had this TV for several years now, watching all types of HD programming and DVDs. Very good picture, especially in white/black compared to LCD at a much lower price that flat screens. It is a little large (in depth) but if you ahve the space I highly recommend it.
- I bought the TV used on craigslist....wonderful HD picture with my Dish...plays movies great....lots of inputs/outputs...only downside is no HDMI connection...just component and DVI inputs. Other then than great TV so far.

- I bought this for the kitchen and have it hanging under the corner cabinet...it's bright, clear, and easily seen. The kitchen spots, even though aimed at that corner, don't show any glare on the screen. I'm very happy with this purchase and find no problems to relate. Good value.
- I expected a better picture and the ability to pick up my digital cable channels since it states it has those capabilities. The picture was grainy and the colors bled. The housing is cheap. Definitely a waste of money. I am returning it.
- Unlike most other new TVs with ATSC tuners, this unit will NOT properly tune the free Digital HD or SD channels that are included by many cable tv providers now.
The documentation leads one to beleive it will work properly. A call to their support line confirmed it will NOT.
- A nice little TV for the Sewing Room. Particularly good audio for a small set.
- I do not have this particular model but have own TWO 14" Sylvania LCD TVs and you need to be warned. After three years of use, both within a matter of three months (!), had their transformers go out. This means their power and the ability to stay on is gone. These TVs I believe are made for Sylvania by Funai and they are garbage. I paid $300 for each of these TVs and now neither works. That is horrible durability and value for the money. And repairing them is no easy or inexpensive task: at least $200 for each with no guarantee of future durability. Maybe we should just go back to the tried and proven tube technology. Stay away from these.

5 comments about Samsung LNT4669 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV.
- This TV is fabulous...I read all the other reviews before purchasing because we were definitely concerned with glare- as the TV is in our family room with a wall of windows. We've had absolutely no problem with glare at all- literally NO glare. The picture is great, very clear...especially with HD channels. We had been looking for a flat screen for years, and after all the research and looking- we're definitely more than satisfied with our purchase.
- I searched well over a month before deciding on this particular TV. One of the major factors was that it had to fit into a space no wider than 46 inches in my entertainment center. Most 46" TVs I looked at were too wide or too shy of the space I wanted to fill. Being about 45.5", this one fits perfect. It has a great picture as well. Of course, you do have to subscribe to an HD provider before realizing what a great picture it has. Of note, I found this model in some stores at a much higher price. This one was delivered and set up free of charge through Amazon. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with the decision to purchase this TV.
- After several weeks of research and many years of waiting to finally buy an LCD TV, I finally decided on the 4669F. I bought it through Amazon, and couldn't have been happier with the transaction. The delivery company was great to deal with and everything went smoothly. I was truly amazed when we first turned the TV on; it was definitely beyond my expectations. The picture was incredible and the matte finish on this model really does make a difference. We hooked it up to our DISH and surround system via HDMI cables and had no problems at all. Everything looked and worked as expected for about 3 months.
Then one evening we spotted a red dot in the center of the screen. I immediately opened up a trouble ticket with Samsung and within 2 days I got a call from a service rep to set up an in-home appointment. The tech came out looked at the unit for all of 30 seconds and told me he was ordering a new panel. They never explained what was wrong and I didn't ask since I was just happy that it was covered under warranty. I the panel was just replaced a few days ago, and since then it has started to make popping and crackling noises. This occurs mostly when it is powering up or powering down but also sometimes while we are watching TV which is quite annoying.
Although Samsung service has said they will come out again to look at it, I have to say I am a bit disappointed. This was a big purchase for me and I was not expecting to have problems this soon. I know that issues can occur with anything, no matter how much you paid for it, but it still stinks. Although the transaction with Amazon was fantastic, I can't help thinking that if I had paid the extra money for tax and purchased it at a local retail store, I could have exchanged it and not had to deal with multiple repairs. Hopefully all of this will be resolved soon so I can get back to enjoying my beautiful TV.
- I am speechless when it comes to the picture on the TV, especially whenever I play my Blu-rays on it. The picture cant be anymore clearer. The sound is just fine. I have had no problems what so ever with anything so far. Great product. Keep it up Samsung.
- I have owned this tv for about 1-1/2 months and am very pleased with the entire purchase experience. In fact, another family member recently ordered the 40 inch version based from her viewing and my past experience with Amazon and the "white glove" delivery service. That alone should also be a consideration.
When I received the tv, it was brought into the house, unpacked, inspected for damage and set onto the old tv stand. Although I do not subscribe to a cable service and rely on the "old fashioned" antennae, the picture was absolutely amazing when we powered the tv on. The delivery driver couldn't believe I would get a signal, let alone several digital channels over the air, not previously known they even existed. I don't have any idea what's being programmed, because they're not listed anywhere. Oh well, I won't complain receiving 9 additional stations free!
My choice narrowed down to the Sony XBR and the Samsung based on what I've learned and seen visiting the big box stores. I was always annoyed by the reflections of lamps during night viewing and the windows during the day. The matte finish on both tv's was the way to go for me and proved to be the answer; no reflections what so ever.
I'm not a techie freek so I really did pay so much attention to the nitty gritty, but knew that the 120 hz motion control was desireable, as well as the ability to view pictures from my camera and connect a computer to the set for possible future applications. (that was kind of neat)
I've read numerous comments regarding this model and felt that the overwhelming number of 5 star ratings must mean something. After comparing the Samsung against the Sony (size, features, picture quality, etc.), it comes down to cost. To me it was a no brainer. I saved approximately $1000. You do the math.
So far I haven't had any issues and am still learning what feature does what. My only hope is that if I do have a problem, Samsung will provide the needed service. Previous comments note that Samsung's customer service is not as good as they should be. Again, I hope I don't have to find out. All in all, this tv has great picture, and that's what I wanted.
I suggest you stop comparing and pondering, just place the order. You'll be happy when it finally arrives and your watching what you like to watch. Others will be asking you the same questions you had. Enjoy!
