Sony HDTVs Rated Most Reliable by PC World Readers

When Phil Harris of Washougal, Washington, brought home a 42-inch Vizio plasma set from Costco, the TV had issues from day one. "The colors went out, and there were white spots all over the screen," says Harris, a retired engineer. Vizio sent techs, who "changed a bunch of components, but that didn't work."

The vendor then sent a refurbished model, which also didn't work properly. Finally, Vizio shipped a new 42-incher--a higher-quality set than Harris's original--which has worked fine for over a year. Would he buy Vizio again? "I guess if I bought another one, it'd be at Costco, and it probably would be a Vizio," he says.

While Harris's story isn't exactly a glowing tribute to Vizio quality control, it illustrates a key point: An HDTV vendor can earn a customer's respect, and repeat business, by correcting its mistakes. The story also suggests that buyers might show a bit more patience and understanding to a low-cost manufacturer like Vizio.

Readers Rank the Best HDTV Brands

PC World's annual Reliability and Service survey lets our readers rate leading vendors in several tech-product categories. This year more than 16,000 respondents shared their likes and dislikes about their high-def TVs and the companies that sell them. Participants rated each company and its products relative to competitors by nine measures, such as customer satisfaction, quality of phone service, severity of hardware problems, and ease of use (our chart here shows five).

Sony HDTVs Win Big; Mitsubishi Struggles

The big winner was Sony, which was better than average in seven of nine measures. The electronics giant, known for high-quality, high-end HDTVs, earned praise for hardware reliability and customer service. It received average marks in ease of use and phone hold time. Five companies--LG, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp, and Vizio--had two high scores each. Overall, readers reported greater satisfaction with the reliability of Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony sets. They also gave credit to LG, Sharp, and Vizio for making TVs with fewer serious issues.

Mitsubishi fared the worst, with four below-average scores. Readers reported a higher-than-average incidence of severe problems (and problems in general) with the TVs, and lower-than-average satisfaction with the sets' reliability and ease of use. Hitachi and JVC didn't do well either: Each had three low grades.

Sony's HD sets may be well made, but seldom are they a bargain. Why the rave reviews? "I've gone with Sony for many years. I find them to be reliable and high-quality, and they last a long time," says Alan Ronkin, who bought a 40-inch Sony Bravia LCD a year ago and is pleased with it. He considered Panasonic and Samsung sets, too, but "at the end of the day, brand loyalty was probably the most important factor," says Ronkin, who manages a nonprofit in Brookline, Massachusetts.

"What Sony has going for it is years of brand image and brand building," says iSuppli TV analyst Riddhi Patel. That brand loyalty may be well deserved and might be based on more than just hype. Like most HDTV makers, Sony doesn't manufacture its own LCD panels but rather buys them from suppliers, says Richard Doherty, research director for The Envisioneering Group. But there's more to it. "One reason Sony's able to keep their high prices and profits is that they have different electronics," Doherty says. In other words, Sony's experience with HD technology means that it can produce a better picture.

Nintendo Wii and Ugg Boots lead Black Friday sales

According to a recent report over at cnet , it looks as if the doom and gloom or the current financial crisis has been temporarily blown away by the Black Friday three days of traditional retail sales in the U.S.

The report indicated that retail sales were up 3 percent (this was 8.3 percent in 2007 over 2006), whilst online sales for the period rose by a whopping 11 percent over the 2007 figures.

Electronic goods being the flavour of the season with the Nintendo Wii console topping the list.

The Wii was dubbed the most searched-for product on eBay and sold over 3,000 units in the U.S on the online auction site. 

Obviously, working off the Thanksgiving turkey was also a priority for Americans as they ordered 1,059 companion Wii-Fit’s go with their new consoles.

PriceGrabber.com listed the top online products for the three day period as:

• Nintendo Wii console
• Ugg Australia "classic short" boot
• Sony BDP-S350 1080p Blu-ray disc player
• Samsung LN52A650 52" LCD TV
• Nintendo Wii Fit
• Panasonic TH-42PX80U 42" plasma TV
• Sennheiser HD 555 headphones
• Canon EOS Rebel XSi Black SLR digital camera kit
• Acer Aspire One AOA110-1295 notebook PC
• Canon PowerShot A590 IS black digital camera

Shopping .com listed GPS units as a valued item, selling one every 9 minutes, whilst MP3 players were scooped up at the rate of one every 11 minutes.

Retailers, fearing a flat Black Friday period went all out this year with bundles and bargains; this included free shipping for online purchased products and a bunch of one-day-only offers in an attempt to drive up sales.

So pull on your Ugg boots, grab your GPS unit and join the hunt for a Nintendo Wii.  Though given the fights that can break out , be careful out there.

Shoppers set for Cyber Monday

So forget standing in line at daybreak like lots of folks did on Black Friday. Today it's Cyber Monday, when shoppers leisurely do their buying with a click of the mouse instead of leaving the house.

What the traditional Black Friday start of the holiday shopping season is to brick-and-mortar retailers the day after Thanksgiving, Cyber Monday is to the online shopping crowd.

"I dread going into stores these days, but especially at this time of year," said Chuck Eglington of Farmington, who is shopping for a Nintendo Wii video game console for his family. "It's so much easier to find deals online, order right from the computer and have everything delivered right to your door. And Monday is online deal day, to be sure."

Still, Eglington is cutting back. "It just doesn't seem prudent to be a big spender this year."

Just as the economic downturn is expected to turn total retail sales from brick-and-mortar stores flat or slightly down this year, online shopping is expected to be off last year's pace.

Last year on Cyber Monday, online retailers racked up a one-day record of $733 million in sales.

This year, the industry is hedging its predictions.

That's because from Nov. 1-23, online sales were down by 4%, the first time such a thing has happened during that period since online shopping began in the mid-1990s. Some $8.2 billion was spent online during the first 23 days of the month this year, compared with $8.5 billion last year, according to the online research firm comScore.

In West Bloomfield, Laura Forest is cautiously ready to start scrolling the sites today. She has her targets lined up. But she, too, is cutting back.

"This year, we will purchase books and clothing online," she said. "We are reducing our spending this year, and are looking for online retailers who are willing to provide free shipping."

She shouldn't have trouble finding that.

Most online merchants are hawking Cyber Monday special deals, offering free or reduced-cost shopping and running special product promotions, says Scott Silverman, executive director of Shop.org.

"As shoppers focus on price this holiday season, online retailers will be extremely competitive to offer the very best deals," he said.

But guess where all the shopping is done?

According to a BIGresearch survey, this year 73 million people will shop for holiday gifts from work. That works out to almost 56% of workers with Internet access.

Despite the gloomy economy, the Cyber Monday hype this year is unprecedented. Sites like gottadeal.com began leaking Cyber Monday special promotions last week. Its Web site has an e-mail service that sends out the day's best deals. And for those on the move, it even has a mobile site that lets shoppers find specials from their cell phones.

There's a bit of a myth to the Cyber Monday moniker, though. It got its name back in the in 2005, bestowed by the National Retail Federation's Shop.org. The group had noticed a huge 77% spurt in business the Monday after Thanksgiving, when frustrated consumers, tired of standing in line at the mall or finding their top gift items sold out, turned to the Internet. But the really busy online day comes in a couple of weeks. This year, it is expected to be Dec. 18, the last day for standard delivery to reach most places in the United States in time for Christmas.
