I have a Sony 34HS420....about every 75 or 80 times I turn it on, no matter what input, the picture is REALLY screwed up. I can't describe it. I don't have a picture of it either. All you've got to do is turn it off for a few minutes and then it fixes itself.

Anyways. I'm going to replace it with a Sammy LCD.

None of the other TVs in the house need replaced with the Sony. I was just wondering what are the options to dispense of the INCREDIBLY HEAVY Sony.

I would suggest posting it on craigslist for your area.

Someone may well be interested in the set and able to repair.

Red.

I always forget about craigslist.

Just sit it out near your trash cans and it will be gone in no time :)

I have the same problem - I'm replacing a "mint" condition Toshiba 36" HDTV ready CRT set with a new 42" LCD. The set weighs 203#, so I have a real problem trying to find help just to move it much less get rid of it.

You could give it to me :D.
