1254558 2012-01-16 22:42:00 I have a Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV which I have had for 4 years with no problems. Before that had a Sony Trintron 29" CRT TV for 10 years with no problems. Also have a Sony Blu-Ray player and HD/DVD recorder both working with no problems.

1254559 2012-01-16 23:22:00 I would go for the Panasonic because I have had a good run with them and I feel that Sony don't deserve any of my business because of their corporate behavior. eg root kits coming with their software and their crap DRM on their MP3 players mikebartnz (21)
1254560 2012-01-16 23:27:00 I'd go Sony I think. I have a oldish (was $3.8k!) 40 inch Bravia and a new 32 inch. Both are fine, as are the Home Theatres that go with them, various ancient stereos and dvd players all fine too. Nothing wrong with the Panasonics, I just don't have a reason to switch brands. Sales reps can be a dit dodgy, everything from adjusting contrasts on TVs to make the one they want to shift look better to just plain telling lies. Personally, I always try to go into one of those places already aware of exactly what I want. Slimy buggers. Test 'em on something you know, maybe ask for advice on which of their PCs would suit you. You'll get a feel for how the sales people are, and could well get a chuckle from their remarkable claims :) Contented (15925)

Exactly the same here, lol , we had the Trintron 29", then bought a 40" Bravia, both still working great.

1254563 2012-01-17 00:07:00 Sony products = good, frequently.

Sony NZ Service (??) Department = Epic fail, Often.

If you have a problem with a Sony product, then often your troubles are just beginning.

1254566 2012-01-17 01:08:00 I have a Sony Bravia, also a Sony HDD/DVD player recorder. The recorder failed after 16 months (1 year warranty) contacted Sony under the the Act, they forwarded a freight paid docket,, fixed & returned the unit in a week new parts & software update parts $275. Total cost to me ZERO. That's service for you. Arnie (6624)
1254567 2012-01-17 07:01:00 I have a Sony Bravia 40". Had for 3 years. No problem at all.
Three weeks ago I bought a Panasonic 32" for the bedroom.
The Pan. is TH-32U30Z and is 1080 true HD. This I bought for $
500 at the Appliance Shed, Manakau. Some stores are still selling the 760
for dearer. I think both sets as good as each other.
