Well after two months of dealing with the worst customer service I've ever experienced, Sony bought the TV back and sent me a check minus the sales tax. I am so soured on this experience, I doubt I'll ever purchase another Sony product - the call center is in Manilla, they never can give you an update on the status of the claim, they promise a call back but no one ever calls. You email pictures and receipts in, they claim they haven't received them - overall just a pitiful experience.
In the end it worked out, I replaced it with a 4k 58" Vizio that I am happier with.
