3 year old Sony 32 inch died!?
My son-in-law "had" a Sony 32 inch flat screen tv that he bought about
3 years ago. Really great picture, etc. About a week ago it suddenly died - no picture - sound still works. He took it to a repair shop and their story is the grandkids killed it playing their Playstation on it. This is also a Sony product. Something about resolutions and stuff that the tv couldn't handle!!?? Want 5 to 6 hundred dollars to fix. In today's adds, the same tv can be had for $600 or less. No, he didn't have an extended warantee on it. Does all this sound on the up and up or what? WLW |

You might be best advised to TAKE the television to a different shop for a second opinion and a firm repair cost estimate so an intelligent repair decision can be made with facts instead of guesses. You might try to find a Sony Authorized shop this time.... check with Sony on-line or with the store that the television was purchased from. The Playstation did NOT kill the television BUT the fact remains that the television needs to be repaired. electricitym .. .. |

I've seen games cause screen burn (though the contrast and brighness would have to be WAY up for that to happen on a direct view) but no chance of it killing anything electrically. |

The worst thing a video game can do is cause bun-in if the ame image is left on the screen for many hours at a time. |
