Sony WEGA Screen Issues
 

I own a Sony WEGA 42" LCD tv and it's about 3 yrs old. When I'm
watching it and there's say, I light back ground scene, I can see 2-3
dark patches on the screen. At first I thought the screen needed to
be cleaned, but that didn't help. When I got close to the screen I
could see they were a purplish color to them. They're kinda fuzzy
and
won't go away. My first thought is that this is caused by dust on
the
mirrors or lens. But after some internet searching I found that
maybe
this is a bigger problem. Can someone here please let me know if
they've had a similar issue and how it was resolved?

TIA

Sounds like a common LCD bruise.
Google for a description, but they all point to not much hope. (Short of

I couldn't find anything on LCD Bruise. Is it something that's minor?

Should we presume this is a RPTV using LCD Technologies? Post Model number
please. You may be experiencing problems with the Optics Block, however,
without you supplying the model number we can continue asking if the bruse
effect hurt when initial effect started.
Trying to assist but will resist any further guessing.

Not really. AFAIK bruises are a form of dead pixels in a group.

I have read of people stripping their LCDs and massaging the screen to
reveive bruises, but reading on the web is
the extent of my knowledge there.

I hope I am wrong, but my understanding has always been bruises=unfixable
by average consumer.

Good luck with it,
Jim

Seen a few of these with defects witin the Optics Block causing
discolouration on the screen, ocassionally termed "Road Mapping". Will need
to have a tech come out and eveluate the distortion and supply you with an
extimate of repairs. However, if you have an extended warrenty then please
exercise it's use. Additional, if you have not changed the lamp within the
last few years it may be a good place to start.
Lamp # A-1606-034-B (Use Original SONY) Optics Block # A-1084-658-A Good
Luck.

Cool thanks....

Hmmmm...
I think it's a bruise.

;)


Disclaimer: I have never seen or dealt with these on a scale that grand or
magnificent, but I have had to work with plenty of LCD TV's 20"& less and
regular LCD monitors that had more than their fair share of what I thhnk
you are describing.

There is one to my right, right now.

What I am describing looks just like a human bruise. Irregular shape of
blackish color that you can still somewhat see thru and is more prevelant
on light backgrounds.
I gave up googling for a fix I could handle.

good luck again
Jim
