We have a 18 month Sony KE-42TS2U and paid 6k for it. Within the last 2 months, we have had a black line running lengthwise through the screen like a pinstripe running down a cars body. Sony came out to inspect it ans the Tech said that it was a faulty screen and that sometimes that happens and you get a lemon. And that someone from Sony would call with and estimate to repair it. The cost for a faulty panel that goes bad, 3295.95. Does anyone else have this issue? And who has a lawsuit going against this issue? I would like to hop on board. There is no reason in hell that a TV that you pay for that is as much as a small car should break in 18 months and cost almost as much to repair as it does to buy it. Any help out there?
