Any info on the fact that these arent in-house developed Sony TVs, this is common knowledge and what deters a LOT of people from buying them

Burn-in info should be posted.

Burn-in affects virtually all old LCDs. It's not any more prevalent in Sony BRAVIAs than in any other television. And since BRAVIAs use the latest technology, it should be even less occurent. (Myscrnnm 18:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC))
Burn-in on LCDs is a myth. It is in fact a lock of a pixel in the on state. Just run "snow" or buy a special DVD to play which will activate every pixel on and off and clear any problems. Takes a few minutes to rid. Now plasmas DO burn. 86.17.211.191 00:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

At least, where I live (Santiago, Chile), Bravia is used to call the Sony LCD TV's.

All Sony LCD televisions in the United States have also been rebranded as BRAVIA. (Myscrnnm 18:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC))

The ad should have its own page.


I think we should have a table for lining up the equivalent Japan/US/European models. Currently the article talks about the various Japan models, but the reader has no idea how these apply to the US/European models. I found this thread that appears to list some of the equivalent models http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=893637&page=28 they someone states:

Japan X7000 series = US 70" XBR3 Series = Europe X3500
Japan X5050 series = US XBR5 Series = Europe X3500
Japan X5000 series = US XBR4 Series = Europe X3000
Japan W5000 series = US W3000 Series = Europe W3000
Japan V5000 series = US V3000 Series = Europe V3000
Japan V3000 series = US S3000 Series = Europe TBD?

These appear accurate, but I'm wondering if there's a more official place that we can double-check with. --24.127.54.17 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
