Source-linkedVerify source — Reddit post

Sony BRAVIA KD85X85J 85-inch TV bought near the end of 2021 for NZ$4,270 completely died just over four years later with the six red flashing lights fault. Sony initially quoted roughly NZ$1,700–$4,300 for repair or pushed another purchase; after a Dispute Tribunal ordered a full refund, Sony initially refused to comply before later agreeing to honour the order after public attention.
