Same here, finder is working fine, but on the LCD there is nothing. Touchscreen is still working.
the lcd screen of my DCR-HC21 became red and then just went black. touch screen still works. only a year old.
i turned on the cam oneday and opened the screen and it was pitch black view finder and touchscreen still works
