Does it make any difference if I buy this TV in the US and take it back to Canada to use it rather than buy the one from the Canadian store?

I don't think so. The only concern I would have is the warranty. I do not think it is valid out of the USA

It should not make a difference. I would suggest that you check this with Sony at 1800-222-7669.

No....the US and Canada are considered the same Region. This means all the software licenses, warranties etc. are valid. This TV an awesome piece of technology....I am very satisfied with it and as a prior Samsung owner....it tramples Samsung.

I ordered this TV and it came in a box that had obviously been previously opened and then taped up.I clicked to return the item - it looks like Amazon is requiring me to ship UPS/FedEx (which I understand) but I'll have to pay for the shipping (at least at first, I think) and then I'll get a refund, not a replacement. I wanted this TV but I don't know if I'll get the same deal by the time the refund goes through.

While the service is best in USA/Canada other countries do have support. A warranty is given upon every new purchase unless otherwise stated. This model will include a warranty.

That clinches it. Amazon's good about accepting returns (I returned a Samsung late last year), but sounds like it's not worth the hassle this time. Thanks for confirming my choice. (I like Panasonic, too, but when I ask for a personal favorite from some of these sales guys who are around hundreds of TV sets every day, they almost always say Sony's the one.)

My US WiiU works just fine with it. I didn't realize it was an import until I received it, but other than the packaging it's just like one you'd find in a US store.

I bought it in the United States and now live in Chile, depends on the country where you live, I think, because Samsung Chile responds warranty.

I am looking to buy this tv as well. Bestbuy has it for the same price. + tax of course. i hear alot about a buzz. that is why i am thinking best buy might be the way to go just in case of a return.

I got it in the mail and it wasn't the Canadian version. If you click on the picture, it seems to go to the normal version. Idk, but it ended up working out okay.

They should honor whatever price you purchased it for during the pre-sell. They will not charge you until the unit ships. Latest rumors put this TV live this week....but....who knows. It will be worth the wait though.

The 46xbr6 was selling for $2699.95 Canadian (approx. $2,125 USD) at a Futureshop store (owned by BestBuy) and all other stores in Montreal, Canada, including the Sony store. After a lot of back-and-forth with the salesperson, I was able to pick it up for $1,999.95 Canadian (approx. $1,570 USD) plus sales tax, and it includes free delivery as well. There was one catch, though: I had to purchase a 4-year service plan for $350 Cdn. (approx. $275 USD). Though I am not a big fan of service plans, for this tv I thought it was worth the peace of mind. If one pixel is lost, the tv is going back for a replacement!

I purchased this tv from Amazon and everything went fine. As a matter of fact, I have purchased many things (50+) from Amazon and have not had one issue. I know you are looking for responses from people who have had issues, but don't let them scare you - they are highly reputable and from what I have heard their customer service and return policies are excellent. Do not hesitate to place your order, chances are you will not beat the price. With free shipping it is a steal. Plus they bring the tv right into your living room, take it out of the box, set it up, and make sure it works before they leave. I purchased this tv from Amazon and everything went fine.

How big of a difference is the picture with the glitch when watching a BD? I am strongly leaning towards buying this TV. If this is only a minor flaw I am going to buy it, I just don't see paying $700 more dollars for the 860 just for this glitch. Is watching BD without cinema smooth that much of a difference? Thank you.

I am looking at the same two televisions. Unfortunately I can't help you with your question because it's mine too! Have you made a decision yet? I am going to check with Sharp, I will post the info for you if I get anywhere. Good Luck.

Buy at Sears and you can return the item for free if you don't like it. Otherwise, you're stuck like me with a $43 return shipping fee and another $59 that they deduct for the shipping coming to you. Either way you lose. Don't buy. Stupid idea for a product. I will never buy another TV 800 item again.
