If this is the model I am thinking of, Sony has a recall on the light engine. They are going bad in many of the Grand Wegas. Call them up and they should offer a new tv. You can either get a BRAND NEW lcd tv for free, but it is going to be smaller than your current one. Or you can get a different size for a reduced price. Late last year (november 2009) my grandma saw a red band at the top of the display. We called up Sony and we got a BRAND NEW 46" 120hz Sony Bravia for about $250 if I remember correctly. And since it is a new tv, you get a new warrenty. You also get to keep your current grand wega because they simply don't want them. I stongly recommend calling them up because this will give you a new tv. Spread the word.

Bad optical block. Very common problem, Sony has had 2 class action lawsuits on this issue. Call 1-877-619-7669 and climb the food chain if necessary! Sony has been pretty cooperative in repairing this problem. Hope this helps

Circular yellowish tinge projected on screen. Outer edges white.

First, check your cables on the input side. If your using RGB, it could be a bad cable, If your using DVI or HDMI, it's more than likely the convergence chip and will have to be serviced. Try a DVD player as a source connected directly to the unit with a new cable; ie. HDMI, DVI, or component and check the picture. If it's still the same, it definately needs serviced. If you need further help, post a comment and I can help you further. Hope this helps.

Greenish/Yellowish

No easy fix for a TV. If still under warranty or if you have no electronic repair experience you should take the set back to the shop or to a repair person. TV's are very hazardous to service. Even when plugged out, TV's can store very high voltages. As long as there's no burning smell, and the set is okay even when hot, after running for awhile, it's possibly bad connections on the convergence board. If you have some decent soldering skills and a familiarity with the insides of a TV, you may even save yourself a repair bill by getting some bad solder connections cleaned up. If its not the connections it could be the STK chips, or the board itself. Take care
