“The prior model 930D has some well documented problems with it's power board, to the extent that Sony has extended the warranty several years out. Does the 930E model still use the same power board (as I am beginning to see similar issues in posts)?”

No, it doesn't have anything to do with the X processor - that does all kinds of magic to make the picture better, and in the future will be able to support DolbyVision via a firmware update. I'm referring to the circuit board that supplies power to the TV. Folks have reported lots of issues with not being able to power on the 930D predecessor models. Sony has verified this as a real problem and has extended the warranty for 3-4 more years (it's right on their website, I checked). My worry is that I'm starting to see some similar comments about the 930E, which might indicate that they are still using the same power board, which would mean that early in the lifespan of the 930E there might be a need to have it repaired and/or replaced. I would have hoped they would be using a more robust design in the new model, but it's also possible that the design was too far along to redesign the power board when it was released (though they could certainly have put in better ones after a certain manufacturing date).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't know. I do know it has the X processor if that makes a difference.
