Screen discoloration on Sony 50" SXRD
 

There is an area of discoloration in the picture on Sony 50" SXRD, it's
most noticeable against light backgrounds. If this was a conventional
tube I'd think that it needs degaussing, but my impression was that this
type of set has nothing to degauss. Anybody have an idea what might
cause this?

Contact a Sony ASC. Depending on the model, Sony has extended the warranty
period on some SXRD units with this problem.

The A2000 series come with a standard 2 year warranty on the light engine.
The XBR1 series needs the light engine and a circuit board changed.

When you call in for service give the service company the complete model and
serial number. That way they can order, and bring out, the correct optics
block when they come. There are 2 different optic blocks for this model but
are not interchangable. Speific device depends on serial number. Either an
A-1168-494-A or A-1168-495-A.

Do you know if this is a widespread defect? If so, how long until the
defect is noticeable. I guess what I'm asking for is, is there a way
for me to tell if I have a defective optical block or a good one? I've
had my SXRD since November of 2006.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Cheers.

The defect will be very noticable, specifically when the yellow 'blob'
starts moving into your picture from the right. Until that happens don't
worry then check the coverage of your extended warrenty.
