In Reply to: Toshiba or Sony 27" flat screen analog? posted by samoore on March 26, 2004 at 10:32:39:
Firstly like the other poste who had one knows Sony has atrocious build quality on these sets. Consumer Reports for what they're worth to you rates the Toshiba the best and OSny was I believe around 9th. The SOny has less features worse construction and costs more.The picture quality is close...some might prefer the Sony side by side, but frankly you don't watch tvs side by side - and perhaps the stores adjust one to look worse to sell you the more profitable one - actually take out the word perhaps.
A dealer who sells both Toshiba and SOny told me that Sony in their bigger expensive set deliberately put out tubes which they new would fall apart but needed to rush the units to market to beat the competition...fat lot that does people who bought them and then wait forever to get em fixed. Unfortunately I didn't ask him which sets.
I may have to buy a set myself and the Toshiba is at the top of my list - My VCR is running very well now over a decade and never once any kind of problem. I have had JVC's that have dies within 90 days.
I also understand that Toshiba makes one of the best Laptops for repairs as well. Let's face it this kind of stuff in this day and age is disposable...finding somehting that might last is a huge plus...no gaurantees of course but I figure try and play the odds as best you can.
