SONY XBR4 52 inch. having pixel problems
 

Before Christmas, I bought a 52 inch. SONY XBR4 LCD HDTV from Best
Buy. Within a week, I found a "stuck pixel" at around center of the
screen. I called SONY service and their technician recognized this as
a defect due to manufacturing quality testing skip. Anyway, I
returned that TV to Best Buy and got another replacement just last
week. Today, with the new TV, I found a "dead pixel" and the location
is about the same as in the previous TV.

Now I am very much disappointed with the quality of SONY's highest
priced TV and seriously considering to have this returned and buy
either PLASMA or another brand. I heard LG is reputed in LCD TV market
but don't know who is better for PLASMA.

Could you please suggest, which brand I could go for LCD HDTV or is it
better to choose PLASMA to avoid pixel related problem. Definitely, I
am no more interested for SONY.

Note that, I found all 52 inch. SONY XBR4 are manufactured in Mexico.

The TV set is assembled in Mexico, but the LCD panels are probably made
somewhere else. But even if the panels are made in Mexico, the country of
manufacturer has nothing to do with a stuck or dead pixel.
