Disassemble rear panel, check all ground wires and connectors.

UNPLUG TELEVISION. While off, reseat every connector you can find on the back of the unit (unplug and plug in one at a time every single jack/cable connector you can see).

PLUG IN TELEVISION. With power on, carefully loosen (one quarter to 3/4 turn should do it) and then tighten every screw which has a cable attached to it (ground screws) and see if that fixes the picture as you are tightening the screws.

BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER PART OF THE TV WITH THE SCREW DRIVER WHILE YOU ARE TOUCHING SCREWS. Could electrocute yourself.

I had a similar issue as well as blotchy screen and this appeared to have resolved the issues.

hi,
check the ground connection of your house wiring. fist of all remove all the external input like set top box, cable connection, dvd etc from the tv. Then power on the tv and watch is the wave is there or not. if it there then ,if the tv power cord comes with three pin connector then remove the earth connection on the wall outlet socket to which you connect its power. the connect the power and switch one the tv.
if the wave will not appear then connect external devices (set top box, dvd etc) one by one and watch which device produce this wave in the tv. also check the ground connection of that device which produce this wave.
If all these will not help full then the SMPS power supply of your tv have some problem. Normally this type of complaint arises due to the faulty Main filter capacitor. you can see it in the power supply.. It will be the big capacitor according to others. Normally There will two or more. replace the same. will solve this problem. if you need any more assistance feel free to contact me through fixya

Sony lcd has lines- vertical AND horizontal white lines

Yes, it's possible that the T-Con board in your Sony LCD TV may need to be repaired or replaced if it's causing vertical and horizontal white lines on the screen. The T-Con board is responsible for translating the digital signal from the TV's main board into a format that the LCD panel can display.
Before replacing the T-Con board, you may want to try some additional troubleshooting steps, such as checking all the cables and connections, performing a factory reset of the TV, and updating the firmware. However, if none of these steps resolve the issue, then the T-Con board may need to be replaced.
You can purchase a replacement T-Con board online or from a TV repair shop. If you're comfortable with electronics repair, you may be able to replace the board yourself by following instructions provided with the new T-Con board. Alternatively, you can hire a professional TV repair technician to replace the board for you.

Horizontal "running" lines throughout the tv

You have a defective LCD panel. If it is under warranty, exchange it ASAP. If not, it's time for a new TV, as it is usually more expensive to repair it than buy a new one.

Wavy lines

Are the wavy lines horizontal or vertical? If they are horizontal and up near the top of the screen it could be 60HZ interference from a power cord running over the cable from the DVD player to the TV. There could also an internal breakdown of the shielding by the power supply of the DVD player. If the lines are vertical it is likely the cable or maybe the input jack on the TV. Could be a number of things.

Dark horizontal lines on Sony KLV-26HG2 LCD TV screen

Hello,

If you can fix it by yourself, there is a problem in horizontal circuit panel, you need to check that in series because the part appear visbly good but when tested by the exact tester you register busted. that should be replaced immediately. Check also the vertical panel parts of the circuit. but if hard you do the job you may consult the service center of your TV or the vendor of the TV.

ps. please don't rate me if you are not convince of my suggestion.
