Sony XL-2100U Projector Lamp

I purchased the Sony KF-60WE610 in March 2004.Since then the light board has had to be replaced(1100$ repair)& it has recently completly melted around the lamp and it housing which almost burned my home down & Sony says its not a product safety issue.After weeks of calls and threats of lawsuits they finally say they will split the cost(almost 1100$ again to repair).Sony sold junk out the box.The picture was beautiful for 1st year or so then quality degraded,light board went,now this on top of normal bulb replacements every 8000 hours or so at $200 this tv is not worth the high cost of ownership.This will be my last Sony product I ever purchase since this is NOT the Sony of days past when they took care of there customers.Buyer Beware if concidering this television...
