For the first year and a half, this television worked perfectly for me. I must include that this television rarely gets used, as it is in an extra room, and was purchased for watching sporting events when I could watch. About 6 months ago the set would...

I use this tv daily and i have not experienced this at all. I think you should call sharp and get their take on this.

Huh, I'd be curious how you adjusted it! I guess I've gotten used to it or something. I imagine I'd look heavily at the Sony equivalent now that there is one, but anyway a full year in I"m still very happy with my 6000 :-) (And as long as these LCD TVs apparently last, who knows when I'll need to replace it or my older Sony! I'd love a larger set for the living room, but SOMETHING would have to actually break first...)

Yes I still have my TV and enjoy it same as the day I purchased it. No problems what so ever.. Clear screen and good resolution. Just wish it had more HDMI inputs but I use my stereo receiver to fix that..

No problem, let me know if you have any more questions. I've had this TV for about a year now and I love it. The SMART TV (internet) features are pretty shabby but that's not why I bought it so for me it works great!

I purchase the Sony XBR4 40" on Jan 7, 2008 from CC in New Hampshire. It was on sale at $1999 - the lowest price I've seen after the holiday. I was concerned about the "fan noise" prior to purchase based on threads I had read. And . . this TV definitely does make a low level fan noise/hum that is only noticeable when the volume is low or during prolonged quiet in a broadcast. Also, relative to the previous post, the unit is not enclosed and has excellent ventillation all around. The noise is not related to heat, it is there when the TV is on. However -is it enough to make me return it? Not yet. I have 30 days to decide if it is a real issue. The picture on this TV is nothing short of stunning. We watched the Patriots beat Jacksonville on Sat. night and then watched football again on Sunday and other programs and the "fan noise" issue was a non-issue. If I really want to hear it, I can turn down the volume and - yup - there it is. But it falls into the category of refridgerator noise, computer fan noise, new car noise, etc. (noises I don't think about anymore.) I think there is no definitive answer because some will be driven to distraction by the noise - others will forget about it quicklly and enjoy the experience.

I bought a UN46B6000 from warehouse deals. I bought the open box warranty from SquareTrade because it wasn't clear if the TV's 1 year manufacturer's warranty applied. When I got the tv and SquareTrade warranty, I found that I was covered by the manufacturers warranty, so now I have an extra year via Square Trade. I saved so much on the TV, and the extra warranty was so inexpensive, I am glad for the extra year.

Here's what my set looks after over a year of use: http://www.amazon.com/review/R236EXQTVCUJA4

If you bought the tv with amex/mastercard premium, you already have a 1 year extended warranty already. Most of the things that break down is within the first 30 days or first year, maybe onto the second year. Trust me, 500 dollars is not worth it.

I own it and it is mostly fine. After a move a few years ago, a yellow line runs down the middle that is only really noticeable on blue backgrounds. It runs hot and is an energy hog (200w) compared to current LCD tvs. Also the contrast and resolution is not as sharp as current tvs even at 720p. The remote only works if you point it at the lower right corner of the TV, where the sensor is. 40" tvs are $300 new (with better specs), so I hope you get a good deal.

I finally got my 40XBR4 on Friday (1/26/08). I was worried about the "fan noise" issues I'd seen online, but I can't hear fan noise from my TV at all... I'm not using the onboard speakers at all, so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it (I doubt it), but from my couch I can't even hear a whisper. The 40XBR4 was everything I could have hoped for... Pretty much the perfect TV for what I want to do with it. I'm really, really glad I waited for the price to come down instead of buying a lesser product 6 months ago...

Yes, it has held up for more than a year with our two grandkids using it. Please note that they primarily use it to sit in and watch TV. They are not rough-housing with it.

I definitely would especially since you will still be under the retail price. Did a lot of research on LGs warranty program and they seem to be on of the best. If it is a family TV it is going to be put to the test. For me, after 5 years, I will probably be ready for a new TV. (Best TV I have ever had btw.)

My PT61LCX65 has just had its light engine / LCD panel set fail. 7 years of age on a Panasonic. 14K hours. Never would have used a extended on it. Devices like these either fail in 6 months or many years after the warranty period. Look at a warranty vs what the TV will be worth in a few years.
