Recently the picture has developed a 4" dia light purple color in the center of screen during all shows/movies/pictures. Most noticable with gray/light backgrounds. Is the lamp going bad or something else?

As technology
evolves, Sony continually looks to stand behind the reliability of its
televisions. It has come to our attention that a very limited number of
televisions manufactured between 2003-2005, after a period of time
exhibit a stationary scribble / random line pattern on the screen.

an un-evan blue bloom at the top of the screen. very evident on light backgrounds.
Same issue - mine is blue. Suddenly noticed it. Whenever the image is all blue you can really see how uneven it is, but it appears clearly on a black. tennis ball sized blob top center and darker basketball sized blob dead center. I think it's an LCD panel dying and I'm PISSED OFF.
