kdl32m3000 lcd panel made in china

The world’s top four LCD suppliers for TVs will be mostly from in 2020, while the total shipment from global LCD companies is likely to fall by 8.2% to 265 million units, according to market research firm IHS Markit on Dec. 18.

IHS Markit said this would mark the first time in 10 years to witness a decline in such panel shipments, as unlike Chinese companies that will continue to ship more, South Korean suppliers will be cutting their volume.

As with BOE, CSOT is mass producing Gen-10.5 and Gen-11 LCD panels. CSOT will also be ramping up production from its first Gen-11 LCD production line, the T6, by the end of this year. The T7, which is the firm’s second Gen-11 line, is to begin mass production by 2021.

Meanwhile, Taiwan’s Innolux is expected to maintain its No.3 status, while China’s HKC will rise to the fourth-largest supplier. HKC had earlier been cited as likely to acquire the Gen-8 LCD production lines at Samsung Display’s suspended panel plant, but Samsung has chosen a different Chinese manufacturer that had no display production lines.

In terms of country, China will ship 58% of the total amount of LCD panels for TVs to reflect a jump from this year’s 47%. South Korean firms, on the other hand, are to see their shipment fall to 17% from this year’s 27%. The 17% will be smaller than the share by Taiwanese firms, which are likely to ship around 22% of the total global volume.

I bought this TV set, a Sony Bravia KDL46W3000, in May 2008 and it is only less than 2 years old. Maybe 2 months ago, a left corner starts to cloud and become blurry. Sony’s authorized company technician came and evaluated the case. He simply came in and turned on the TV and said that I have to change the whole LCD panel. The whole diagnosis was less than 10 minutes long. I called Sony and they said they cannot help and it is out of manufacture warranty. I explained that there are many complaints about the same model and Sony did not hear about it. What a BS! I bought a SONY for their good service but I am not happy how they take care of their customers. Let’s have a class action lawsuit against Sony!

Same basic story as everyone else you has gotten ** by Sony. Spent $3500 on a 60" LCD Grand Wega. The bulb keeps going out, thermal fuse out, optical block out and blue haze of dots all over screen. I called Sony, wrote to Sony and to no avail. They will take no responsibility for their poor product that they knew was faulty while they were selling it. I guess they are too mighty for anyone to really get them to pay.

I bought a Sony Bravia KDL-52w3000 TV about 3 years ago. About 6 Months ago, the left side of the screen was blurry and having Double vision for 20 minutes until the TV warmed up. Sometimes the whole screen goes black. I talked to a person at Best Buy and he told me that 80% of people with this TV has the same problem. I contacted Sony and they told me that since I did not have extended warranty on it that I would have to buy a new LCD Screen. That cost more that the TV itself. Apparently, Sony is aware of this defect. I googled the model and saw all the people that had the same problem.

I purchased Sony Bravia TV Model # KDL- 46W3000 in Jan. 2008 for $1600.00. The picture went out. After a month of much debate with Sony customer relations, they suggested to have an authorized Sony technician look at it. I did. And I had to pay for it. It will cost $1800 to replace the panel (picture tube). Sony is offering me a new TV for $925 and I have to buy it from Sony directly within 2 weeks. Why should I buy a new one when the TV is only 2 yrs. old and it’s a high end TV by Sony? I bought a good brand name TV to last and as a result, I don"t have a TV to enjoy now.

I bought this LCD about 2 years ago. The model is KDL-46XBR4. The cost is around $2500. Last month, it had problem. After going through lots of research from calling local TV repair centers and online searches, and I found out that Sony admitted there is problem with LCD panel for this model and they are willing to replace it for free. I called Sony. They scheduled a technician to be onsite and told me to remove the LCD from the wall. I took down the LCD and I also removed the back cover of LCD. I thought that would be easy and faster for the technician. But there was a problem. When their local technician came to my house, somehow the technician wasn’t happy with me or there was something about me that he didn"t like.

He refused to repair my LCD. I contacted them several times and got my ticket open with them. The ticket number is **. I spoke to someone named Alex **. He told me not to waste my time because the back cover was open. I told him there was nothing written or labeled on the back of that LCD"s panel with do not open if any seal or back panel is open. Please help. I want this LCD to be functional and working again. Two years ago, I took out a loan to buy this LCD and worked so hard to payoff this loan. Now I don"t have LCD or TV to watch. I have so much stress and am upset from this ordeal.Read full review

On 12/10/2008, I purchased a Sony LCD TV (KDL46V4100). Almost exactly 18 months later, June 2010, the bottom right corner of the LCD panel started to fade/blur the picture every time I would turn the television on. This just started happening out of nowhere. As most people stated, usually the bulbs in the panel should last at least 60,000 hours.

This TV is seldom used, maybe 1-3 hours per night only. There is no way a panel should have started to burn out so quickly. Something is definitely wrong here and I feel completely cheated by purchasing this television, taking into consideration the number of complaints here about similar issues with Sony LCD TVs. Calling Sony was no help because they advised me to call a "Sony Excellent Service Provider," whom I did call. Basically, his answer was that it costs over $20000 to replace the panel in this $1,400.00 (2008 model) television set. To be fair, Sony offered me a discount on their newest model KDL46ex700 for $900 (original price is $1,500). However, that"s still a lot of money to shell out after only 18 months. Class action lawsuit somebody, please!Read full review

I purchased a 46-inch LCD Sony Bravia KDL46W3000 on 8/17/2007. Three weeks ago, grayish vertical lines started to appear on the back of the screen and the picture color was really bad. I called Sony and they told me that I needed to reprogram the TV. They walked me through the entire process and it worked. But this only lasted 2 weeks when the TV started doing the same problem. But not only was the picture really bad, the volume started to be bad too. I called Sony and they could not help me at all.

I submitted a claim and they told me to call a repair company. The technician came last Friday and told me that the panel on the TV is bad and that I need a new one. He was so sorry about the situation that he asked me to call Sony to insist on having it replaced for free since the panel is defective. I called Sony and I have not heard anything from them yet. I want to know if there is a class action lawsuit against Sony.Read full review

46" BRAVIA KDL-46W3000 - 6 blinking lights. I bought my LCD TV KDL-46W3000 three years ago. All of sudden, one day, the TV went off and the "On" led switched from green to red and blinked six times. The blinking is continuous of set of six blinks. What a lemon! I swear I"ll never, ever buy a Sony Brand. This is it! No more Sony in my house ever. When I searched on Bing, Sony 6 blinking lights, I discovered that this is a common problem on Sony LCD. If any Lawyer is reading this, go ahead and file a class action law suit against Sony. We, the consumer, need justice.

I purchase a Sony LCD TV worth Rs. 1 Lac 65 Thousand 3 years before and now I am getting problems in the screen. There is a line in the screen. It means that my LCD is in his last stage. I don"t understand how Sony Company can make this kind of product that can’t run properly, all just because of China. Sony makes all his product made in China and everybody knows that the quality of products from China is very bad, very very bad. I think Sony Company doesn"t believe in quality. I don"t understand. This is my 1st and last purchase from Sony Company and I request the government to please take some serious actions against Sony Company. Why they are making these kind of bad products? They don"t care about their company quality status or what. LCD TV frm Sony worth Rs. 1 Lac 65 Thousand with screen damage.

It took a few weeks to get the part shipped to my house because the part was on back order from Sony. Which I thought was kind of weird that they would have a part be back ordered and not have a TV in recall. After everything that has happened, the repair person came back out to my house and it turns out to be the LCD Panel that is the problem. I already know Sony isn"t going to do anything about this issue and I believe this is a manufactures defect.

I bought a 32-inch Sony 18 months ago for approximately $500. The LCD panel is bad. The cost to repair is almost $700. I feel I bought a lemon, and requested Sony reimburse me. I have contacted Sony in Ft. Myers, and a report from a technician has been sent to them (Sony did pay for the service call). I tried to call Adam today, and he is out of the office. I hope Sony will do right, but after reading comments on the internet, I"m not sure. Other consumers have posted comments on the internet that their LCD display panels have been bad. Consumers need to be protected by big companies that feel they can do anything (make bad products). I am writing this complaint so others can be warned about the bad TVs Sony makes.

I purchased TV in December 2007 and recently, on June 2010, the LCD panel went out. Risley"s estimate to repair was $865.00 to repair. The TV cost was only $700.00. This is our bedroom TV so it is not used that much, couple hours 3 or 4 times a week.

Thankfully, I have many records of phone calls, emails to tech support and one appointment for service that was cancelled since the problem hadn"t occurred for several days and I feared the $125 service fee would be wasted. In June of 2010, I took it to a service center for evaluation and an estimate. I did not expect it to be for the entire LCD panel. Having a trail of conversations with Sony going back to within days of the warranty expiration, I hoped Sony would respond. They seemed encouraging and I followed their instructions to take it to another repair service that was authorized for this model. The result was the same. When I took it in, I gave the technician my case number with Sony.

LCD television specifications are for 60,000 hours of life. This one didn"t last 6,000 hours. The complaints on this model, all 46 inch LCDs from Sony and other sizes are very numerous and I can only conclude the life expectancy is similar in many of the complaints on this site. In warranty or not, Sony is profiting from general LCD specs by selling units that only last 10% of the presumed life. Furthermore, Sony misled me (and probably several others) by encouraging me to pay for diagnosis more than once when they had no intention of considering my claim in the first place.

My father-in-law bought a Sony LCD TV model # KDL-32L4000 less than 2 years ago. Now the bottom 2/3rd of the screen has vertical lines that get progressively worse. When it was taken to Sharper Video & Audio, they said it would cost $1,000 to fix. You can buy a new one for that price. Sony has a one year warranty on these TVs. It looks to me that Sony should be doing a recall, because from what I"ve been reading, my father-in-law obviously isn"t the only one with this problem.

I purchased Sony LCD TV KDL32XBR4 on November 23rd 2007 and the LCD panel is bad after just two and a half years (July 5th 2010). Sony offered alternate model if I pay $425 of the $699 retail price and I have one week to accept their offer. The original TV cost $1100.

I am asking for a review of the above file #. I purchased the Sony Bravia 32" TV for $688 on August 16, 2008, for my husband who has since died from cancer. I purchased the Sony because we have other Sony products and have always been very satisfied. I realized that it is no long under warranty. On June 23, 2010, when I turned on the TV there were many vertical lines throughout the entire screen. I called Comcast and the technician came and determined that it was the TV. I then called Sony and spoke to a representative who walked me through all of the same steps that Comcast had and too determined it was the TV. The Sony technician gave me the name of RAM TV & Electronics. I took the TV to them and the problem is the LCD Panel; a repair that they do not see often. The cost to repair this TV is $1134.65 parts and labor. Perhaps the LCD panel was defective.

On July 2, 2010, I spoke to two Sony representatives and I was not satisfied with what they feel is fair. I feel that Sony is not standing behind this product that has not been abused or over used. In researching the internet, I have found information (attached) stating that the LCD panel on average lasts for 60,000 hours or approx. 25+ years if based 6 hours of viewing per day. With that in mind, I calculate that my TV has been used approximately 3,200 hours based on the average of 6 hours per day; most days for the last year have been 3 hours or less per day. I believe that the LCD panel on my TV is defective when factoring in the above information.
