    Your opinion doesn’t matter. What matters is everyone else’s opinion. Our interpretation of that TV is “Obviously defective”, but in their eyes it turns on and plays media and sound, and if you crank the brightness all the way up then in very bright scenes you don’t notice the blue tint.

    My only actual remedy in this case was go to small claims court, which costs money on top of time off from work, and winning would require explaining backlight bleed to a 70 year old judge and that while it’s normal, not to this degree. And even if I won, this would be against Sony so maybe after that they ban me from doing any kind of business with them ever again and I’d lose access to thousands of dollars worth of games I’d pay for and lose the ability to play my $500 game console. This shit is just stacked against you and there’s no real winning except to not buy their product in the first place. But what do you do when any manufacturer on the market can and would do this to you? Never buy a TV again I suppose.
