daily life: in my day.

Older members of society often make wild statements like 'In my day things were built to last' and 'In my day we took more pride in our work'. Basically, take any product, food, activity, prefix it with 'In my day' and you instantly become 70.

But 'In my day TVs were built to last', but that day has passed. Less than 3 years ago I upgraded to a very expensive, flagship Sony TV, which after fewer than 2 years now produces pictures  like this.

And I am not alone, it seems that every Sony model from 2007, ranging from the flagship X series, to the humble V series suffer a variety of issues with the T-CON board reducing the HD quality images to a mangled mess, but at least it obscures Louie Spence's prancing about. 

Understandably Sony UK does not acknowledge this T-CON board issue because that would mean thousands of sets would have to be replaced free of charge costing millions, but the real kicker is Sony USA do admit the fault. Is a bit of consistent douchiness too much to ask for.

I'm usually the first to criticise our litigious former colony, but in this instance it seems that fear of litigation has made Sony USA do the right thing.

But don't think Sony are alone in producing shoddy merchandise even Derek Trotter would be too ashamed to sell. Lest we forget
