Sony Bravia LCD issues - KDL 40V5810

[admin_exported]

Hi,

I have recently bought a 40 inch Freesat Bravia. (No freeview reception in our area currently). The TV was rated 4/5 for the smaller 32inch model in the last issue and the better 40 inch W series model was previously well written up I believe.

I have read many comments about Sony LCD issues on different forums described as 'light bleed' and 'backlighting issues'. Although I have not noticed any problems with my tele, I am not sure what I should be looking for to be honest. Is this an issue that affected every single Sony TV sold, or just a hot and miss issue?

Any pointers would be great - if their is a particular kind of picture (i.e. dark film shots etc), that would highlight if I had an affected panel? My tv came with a 5 year warranty, but I don't want to return it if there is not an issue.

Thanks,

Chris

If there isn't an obvious problem with your TV then why try and find one?! Some Sony sets suffer with the backlight bleed and some don't, it is just hit and miss. Just go on google images and search 'backlight bleed' if you want an example of what to look for.

Davee - thanks. I certainly don't want to find any issues with it, it is a great set and by far the best tele I have ever owned. Had a look at the images and see what they mean, haven't seen that on mine, so all good.

Looking forward to getting a blu-ray player...
