[net.nlang.india] TVs for India

raghavan@wanginst.UUCP (Sri Raghavan) (11/25/85)

I would like to find out if anybody has experience of taking a TV from here,
to India. In specific, how reliable are these TVs ?

Yesterday I drove to Newyork [5 hours drive from here] and brought a TV home.
It is a SONY model KV1882. It is a three system model, which can work in 
India, U.S and in Europe. I hooked it up and switched it on. It worked 
beautifully - but for just 5 minutes. Then the picture went dark. I am 
glad that I caught this problem before lugging it all the way to India.

My confidence on these TVs is sort of shaken now.  I even wonder whether this 
supposedly SONY set, is really made by SONY. And now I have to deal with the 
formidable shop-keeper in Newyork, to get my money back or get the set 
replaced. It is not going to be easy. [$410 is no joke]

Meanwhile I would like to find out if anybody has experiences/opinions 
regarding the reliability of these TVs. [or related experiences].

Thanks.

Sri.
