kdl 70r550a lcd panel price

I immediately replaced the t-con and mainboard, but the symptoms stayed the same. I later found the t-con board clicking (relays) multiple times after power-up, corresponding to the screen flickering. Disconnecting the LCD ribbon cables stops the clicking from the t-con board. I think this means that there is a short in the LCD panel itself.

One note about black level depth on the KDL-70R550A is that they look jet black on the top and bottom bars in a 16:9 format mode when directly viewed front and center. However colors can be a little more washed out on the picture itself due in part to the anti reflective coating on the screen of the R550A.

Sometimes dark shadow detail could be better in the KDL-70R550A as the screen filter (matte screen) on this TV causes a hazy appearance with some programming on the screen. One quick fix is to turn up the Brightness setting some. This will cause better definition in dark areas but at the expense of less penetrating blacks.

This feature working in conjunction with the 120Hz panel can distort the natural background blur in the picture somewhat in movies or film-based content so use with care. It"s great for sports programming though. Options within the setting are: Clear, Clear Plus, Standard, Smooth, Impulse. We recommend turning it off for movies, and using the Standard or Smooth setting for other programming.

A very good comparison for the KDL-70R550A is Sharp line with which Sony is trying to take some market share. The 70R550A sells for around $2498 putting it very nicely in a value-plus area in the price per square inch category. It has a reasonable feature set to go along with the size and we particularly like the passive 3D. The Sharp LC-70LE757U and Samsung UN65F6400 are good comparisons.
