Summary: Sony KV-36XBR450 is Great But has Flaws
Comment: I've had this television set for about six years now. The picture quality is great, but anyone who has this television knows that it has problems. I have two problems mine; one is that it powers itself off when warm and the other is that the monitor (picture) won't turn on sometimes. My set has been repaired numerous times - I have had the power supply circuit and capacitors replaced. The total cost for all the repairs were about $750.
These defects are likely to be engineering design flaws, one in which Sony should have corrected through testing (if they do any at all). The technology in Sony product is great and Sony claims that "we stand by our product" but I have yet to see any of their product lasts in the long run.

Summary: BEST TV EVER!
Comment: I have owned this TV for 6 years and have not had a single problem. It has every feature you could imagine. I had bought a surround system with it but returned it because the built in 80 watt system sounded so good I didn't feel I needed it. 1080i HD picture quality can not be beaten!

Summary: Beautiful Picture, but Heavy, and Serious Problem after 4 years
Comment: I purchased this TV in June of 2002. About August of 2006, it started to have intermittent problems of displaying a distorted output of the selected input along with parts of the output of the second tuner. Would come and go, normally after the TV had been on for a little while. Makes it impossible to watch TV when this is happening. I've been told by service company to expect $500 repair bill.
When working, the picture is beautiful. This set is very heavy, about 235 pounds, which presents challenges in getting it serviced. No one wants to move it.

Summary: Best set I have ever owned.
Comment: I bought this set in 2000 and have never had a problem. I did buy the 5 year warranty - but never used it. The picture quality compared to my $5,000 plasma is much better - no distortion on the 4:3. If you have any concerns, buy the extended warranty. It's cheap protection. Also, go to other sites and read the reviews there. You will find that they are overwhelmingly positive.

Summary: Sony XBR TV dies twice Picture perfect when it worked
Comment: I got the Sony KV36XBR450 in March 2002 It only had the 2 year Sony warrenty. Did not think I would need an exteded warrenty having bought several Sony TVs over the years.It lasted only 2 years 11 months.(2-2005) It would try to turn on then shut down and only the red light in front would bink 4 times and repeat. I had it serviced $419, and it worked fine until 12-23-05 9 monthts after the repair,when it did the same thing. No sound no picture. Now I have to decied to throw more money at it or throw out this two hundred an thirty-eight pound paperwight.

Watch as vivid images and surreal sound come alive the moment you turn the KV-36XBR450 on. Dynamic features produce incredible results as Digital Reality Creation, Hi-Scan 1080i, and CineMotion reverse 3-2 pull down technology go to work. See the difference Multi Image Driver and new 3D Digital Comb Filter make as you watch. Entertainment lives in the KV-36XBR450.
