Is that what they weigh? I thought it was more in the 500 pound range. (I will never lift a 36" set again...) LOL!
I'm not "dogging" on your set, but I was never a fan of the Wega series. They DO have some fantastic features tho.
I bought a 24" model new. (2003-2004) The shop delivered it, took it out of the box, set it up, but I noticed when I watched DVD's that the night scenes were TOO black. Even with the brightness maxed. I called the shop and they said it was a common problem, and they would send someone to fix it. (probably sub-screen adjustments) I then googled that model and saw it was plagued with high-voltage issues, so I told the shop to forget it, and they brought out a Toshiba clone, which I still have and use heavily today. I could be wrong, but I don't think Sony even used a Trinitron tube in it. (even tho the set is marked Trinitron) Up until that time, the only TRUE flat screen was a Sony... then around the time that set came out, other manufactures started coming out wilh a flat screen CRT, including the Toshiba I have. The picture tube on the Toshiba is an Orion.
A TV tech at that time said the patent ran out on the Trnitron tube, which allowed other people to copy it.
Out of curiosity.. look at the neck of your tube when the set is on. If you see 3 guns lit up, it's NOT a true Trinitron.
Sony TV quality started going downhill fast in the late 90's. They couldn't afford to build their sets in Japan anymore, and outsoursed parts/assembly.
