Above model is LCD not plasma, if crack is in screen then replacment is worth more than LCD. Given prices on Sony spare parts, you may be better covering as accidental damage on insurance if you are covered.
If you have a crack in the screen, NO the panel will have to be replaced, sorry to give you the bad news, even if the set is in warranty, Sony will not replace the panel if it is physically broken. The cost to replace the panel out of warranty is cost prohibitive.
It definately looks like a mechanical defect with the screen. If you see the line when the set is shut off this means that the screen may have a crack in it, or there is a defect in the substrate.
This type of fault is fixed by replacing the screen assembly. The cost of this would not be worth it.
I don't have a listing for your model, but it is not unusual for the panel to cost more than a replacement set. As another example, the replacement tube (CRT) for a 27" Sony set can easily be $700. This was when these sets were being sold for $350!! Parts is where these companies rake in big profits. Don't blame the servicer for this one.
I had one broken a few months ago. I got a couple quotes.. it was about $200 less then a brand new one. I'd just buy a new one.
For the new TV I'd pickup a screen protector for it. My son threw a toy at my TV the other day and I nearly had a heart attack from the flashbacks. Thank God I picked up one of these a few weeks earlier. It stopped it. LCD screens really break easily as you know. http://www.tv-armor.com
