I have never owned a Sony camera, and now I know for sure that  I never 
will. 

We just bought a 65-inch Sony Bravia TV, one of the latest models, not cheap 
to put it mildly. Great picture, but we have struggling for 2 days with the 
simple task (or should be simple) to connect a garden variety laptop to the 
TV using its wifi interface so that the TV in effect acts as a computer 
monitor, but without the clutter of HDMI cables and all that. The menus and 
instructions for Sony products were apparently originally written in 
Klingon, then translated into Japanese and then to English. And it appears 
that unless your computer is a Sony Vaio, you have to perform various 
unnatural acts. Everything Sony seems to be proprietary.

I think the TV is going back to the store (fortunately, we bought locally), 
to be replace by a Samsung or LG.

Cheers,
Nathan
