Light bleed issue : ( Save your time, go Samsung!

on February 19, 2016

Posted by: Heliguy

from Long Island, NY

My wife and I went in to purchase a sony 850 series tv and were in awe of the 900c. In talking with the salesperson she assured me the reviews were old and that the problem was addressed. She said that sony had picked up and replaced all the old units that had the issue. The model on the showroom floor had no light bleed issues that I could see. So, we decided to purchase it as I loved the thin form factor and the picture was beautiful in 4k. I get it home, spend two hours installing the special wall mount that is included (nice touch) and low and behold...LIGHT BLEED. Both lower sides and the middle on the bottom. The lower left side looked like a flashlight shining through the picture even when it wasn't a dark scene. UGH. So, my wife and I packed up the TV and returned it to Best Buy. We purchase all our appliances and electronics from Best Buy and have always had great experience and felt like we got a good deal! The floor supervisor and the Manager Diego were not only very understanding they helped us in anyway they could. We wound up upgrading to the Samsung UN65JS9000 and are extremely pleased. The picture is as good or better, its brighter and the colors are amazing. My wife is a big believer in Samsung as our other TV's are Samsung. I was the one who wanted to try the Sony as I was really impressed with the 900c series. Unfortunately, my wife's parting words where....we will never buy a sony TV again! The attached pictures are in daylight and don't really give it justice. At night it really looked awful! It really was bad...you can see even with the picture on the screen the light looks like a flashlight on the side. In conclusion we will still be Best Buy shoppers and are satisfied with the service we received.

Great Lens!!

Some of the reviews out there beat this lens up....Saying it not as sharp as they would like it to be. Remeber this is not an "L" lens! It does take great shots at all focal lengths and is a one lens fits all occasions. It is a great walkaround/vacation lens. Its IQ is very good and I am very satisfied for the price. You will not regret this purchase!

What's great about it: long zoom, image stability

What's not so great: no usm and not an L

I would recommend this to a friend!

Ease of Use

Durability
