Why does everyone crap on Sony?

[brigden]

They don't seem to be too popular over here.

 

[conjur]

1) Overpriced
2) Some history of problems and poor repair
3) Overpriced

 

[Ameesh]

cause its overrated. especially that pos wega

 

[Looney]

Not me, i love Sony.

 

[ThePresence]

Cuz it's popular.

 

[whaleskinrug]

reputation for little/no customer service, even though prices are high

 

[metalmania]

A moron asked me to give some links support my point: Sony Sucks.

Sorry I have no time for that crap like sony.

For CRTs you can't beat a Sony Trinitron

I don't want to be pesimistic, but this question has been asked alot. Please, PLEASE use a search or ask a subscriber to do one for you (im no subscriber btw). I'm tired of all these companies and how much they suck, this one is way better. Let it go man, if Sony is offering what you want, why do you have to second guess it?

That is true, even mitsubishi uses Sony patents (legally) to make their own crt's based on the trinitron.

I have a pair of Sony Wireless headphones and I used to have a pair of old 17" Trinitrons. My girlfriend has a 1.3 megapixel digicam and I haven't had any bad experiences with any of it. Granted all of it was acquired second hand so pricing wasn't really an issue.

If the question has been asked a lot, I haven't seen it. If this bothers you, don't reply to the thread.

I'm not second-guessing anything. I have always been a fan of the company and its products. Whenever a thread about televisions comes up, people always seem to crap on Sony, but no one [typically] ever offers a reason why. I think ThePresence nailed it.

same. over the years..

sony digi cam
camcorder
couple wegas
some older tvs
5 optical drives
as previously stated, sony CRTs are SOLID
some dvd players
vcrs

only had 1 problem, which was with 1 of my sony dvd players, other than that, perfect performance out of everything. Have heard about alot of problems, guess im lucky.

 

[IGBT]

Every sony tv I've owned developed a high voltage problem of some sort. And the pic in pic failed in my most recent xbr...

 

[erub]

I've had:
Sony Wega
Sony Trinitron G420 19"
Sony (Dell branded) 17" monitor - bought Jan 1997, still working great today
Sony 17" monitor
My parents have two Sony TVs, one is older than me (~1980) - still works, although the color is starting to fade..the other 32" from 1990 works great..
Sony VCRs

Its worth the premium...I'm suprised Sony hasnt made a big jump into LCDs, although if they have you just dont hear about them..

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Thier low end stuff is low end, without a low enough end price. And thier high end stuff is good, but is quite expensive.

 

[JimRaynor]

Every monitor I have ever owned was Sony. Only other brand I would consider is Samsung (good lcds).

 

[Bryophyte]

Most of my Sony products have lived long, productive lives. TV, boombox, walkman, Digicam, etc. Been pretty happy with them.

Of course, with a husband who can do component level repair for all of our electronics, I'm pretty happy with just about all of our stuff. Nothing is broken long here.

WTF is an iiyama?

 

[metalmania]

Corrected:
Someone does not know iiyama and says SONY crt is the best. What a joke.

I used to have a SONY 400PS which died after warranty period. I don't think SONY is reliable.
