Hey Sandjk, I have a 3 yr old sony 60a2000. It has been turning green for the last 3 months. I thought it was the bulb needing replacement, so I just changed it. $250 down the drain. Its no better at all. I have to go to settings-picture-custom- advanced settings-white balance- and take the g-gain and g-balance to minimum values. do it for the cool and warm 1 settings. then when you cycle thru the cool neutral warm settings you will see a big difference. Not great but watchable. let me know what you think or if you found a better solution.
SandyP.

Sony SXRD KDS-50A2000..Has a green tint in the color, can,t adjust it out

If your TV looks 3D, warped, or distorted it likely has a convergenge problem.
If however it just looks dull, washed out, redish, or if it looks like objects on the screen have halos the fluid in the lens has soured.
You can search google for parts or you can get the parts with repair instructions from sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com

Sony SXRD KDS-50A2000 Will not power on. Green

I have the same problem with my unit. I've been removing the bulb and just replace it back and unit will work again. I probably need to vacuum or check the fan out too.

Sony KDS-50A2000 screen is in green tint

My Sony KDS 50 A2000 is 17 months old. Its the 50 Inch SXRD projection model. About two weeks ago the screen developed a green tint with cannot be tuned out, then a few days later the message began to appear on the screen that the bulb was nearing the end of its life and must be replaced.
Fortunately I have the Circuit City extended warranty.
I called and within just a few days a serviceman came out and replaced the projection bulb.
The Result: No change in the picture, the green tint remains on all channels, so I'm awating the next service call. Under the service warranty they have the option to repair or replace this set. If indeed this is the light engine (optical block) which I suspect and its going to cost $1,000 or more I may be looking at a new set.
When it works this is a great TV, but I have had three Sonys now including two other standard CRT models and now this one joins them in the junk heap, the other two also bit the dust after just about two years. Is it time to give up on Sony?
I know they have a class action suit on a similar model for this same problem. Caveat emptor
