Sony bravia LCD KDL52 TV: starts to show vertical color bands with soft edges after about 45 minutes of being in-use. On power-recycle and TV cool-off, problem gets corrected for about 45 mins.
It is most likely the TCON board (located at the top right against the LCD panel). When these boards have problems, they can act up when cold or warmed up.
You will want to check with any extended warranty company you might have, or Sony's part website for the availability of the TCON board.
The problem here is, sometimes those TCONs are not made available separately and need to be replaced with the screen.
If you have to replace the panel, buy a new tv. You'll save yourself a costly repair.

I have an opaque reddish band on the top of my sony KDF55E2000 tv. I just changed the projection bulb hoping this was the problem but its still there. otherwise the picture is perfect. You can only see the band when there is something light showing on the screen.
