Sony triples TV warranty length
Promotion extends TV warranties to three years
- — 01 October, 2009 16:10
Sony has announced a promotion tripling the length of its LCD and LED television warranties, extending them from 12 to 36 months.
Bravia LCD televisions purchased from the start of October until the end of the year will be eligible for the increased warranty, although customers must register their televisions online at the Sony Warranty Web site. The promotion covers all Sony Bravia LCD television models including the Sony Bravia KDL40ZX1 and the Sony Bravia W series.
However, the extension does not apply to the $6999 Sony XEL-1 OLED television, which only comes with a 12 month manufacturer’s warranty.

You'll need the extended warranty, too
15 months after purchasing my 50" Bravia X-series it is now malfunctioning. Should have purchases the extended warranty I suppose.

update ... Sony came to the party
Update to the first post here about malfunctionaing X-series Bravia ...
Despite being out of warranty by 6 months, Sony paid the vast majority of the $2900 charge to replace the LCD panel assembly.
The repairer said it was very common that panels need replacing in the KDL46X3100. He is personally doing 4 a week.
But at least Sony are acknowledging what is, very possibly, a design fault.

Sony only offered to sell me a new unit when my 52" Bravia panel went out and it was 4 days prior to warranty expiration. How did you get them to warranty yours?
