A Sony spokesman has stated that Sony will soon be exiting the Rear Projection TV business as soon as their current inventory is gone. Even though Sony’s rear projection TVs were still popular, they will be shifting their resources towards LCDs, which they believe is “what people really want”. This news isn’t too strange since Sony isn’t the first to be dropping Rear Projection from their line up; Philips, Toshiba and Hitachi have already done the same. [Twice]

I am writing this with great interest as i own a Sony rear projection TV and feel that the reason for Sony’s departure from this market is due to the fact that so many Rear projection TV’s were sent back!!!
Search google for “Sony Rear Projection Blue Haze”
for further information on what i am claiming.
It seems 2 years after buying the TV, they all exhibit blue haze over the once amazing screen to which the repairs are to cost $1200. Considering I paid $3000 for the set only 2 years ago, i feel quite rippped off and have started many battles against Sony with the fair trading commission and ACCC. I am about to make a claim in court against them and ask for all owners with similar problems to contact me ASAP as i could use this as further proof and hopefully get refunds for all of us! My details are 0407 273 385, James. elemenopy @ hotmail dot com
