Hey guys,
I e-mailed Sony tech support and I'm concerned I got some outsourced guy on the other side of the planet. I try to take good care of my stuff and know the potential damage incurred from exposing the screen to sunlight, and I wanted to make sure that the UV radiation was the only concern.
I've been kinda paranoid since moving it from one apartment to another and, man, I'm not gonna lie, neurotic about there being scratches on the actual display from the move. Hence, I've been checking over it with a flash light for scratches and cleaning the thing (it's a KDL52W4100, fwiw). In order to hopefully allay my concerns I sent the following e-mail to Sony's "E-Support" unit:
And I get this answer:
Are they just crazy?

Thank you for contacting Sony Support.
I'm glad to provide you the information regarding the Sony TV. It is recommended that the screen of the Sony TV should not be directly exposed to sunlight or flash light.
