KDF-60XBR950 Grand WEGA

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?

    an un-evan blue bloom at the top of the screen. very evident on light backgrounds.

  • Foolthrottle Apr 08, 2008

    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.

Optical block bad please mark post as fixya!

2003-2004 Model Year Grand WEGA Televisions:

Models: KF-42WE610, KF-50WE610, KF-60WE610, KDF-70XBR950, KDF-60XBR950, KDF-42WE655, KDF-50WE655, KDF-55WF655, KDF-60WF655, KDF-55XS955, KDF-60XS955, KF-42WE620, and KF-50WE620.

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. Click here to see photos of this symptom.

As part of our commitment to quality, Sony is announcing that for any owner of this model television who paid out-of pocket expenses on or before May 26, 2006 for an estimate or repair service to replace the optical block for this specific issue, Sony will reimburse the customer by mail for his/her parts and labor expenses. To receive reimbursement, please follow completely the directions and terms on the claim form for reimbursement; all claims must be postmarked by May 31, 2007.

In addition, for any customer who later experiences this issue on one of the affected models, Sony will cover the cost of the optical block repair at no charge through September 30, 2007. All other terms of the Sony limited warranty continue to apply.

I think a new lamp will solve the problem. It may need a claeaning. This TV is known for optical block failures soon after a lamp replacement. Call Sony for details

Sony Grand Wega KDS-R60XBR1

yOU SHOULD HAVE 2 MORE SETTINGS ZOOM AND EXTENDED ZOOM THIS SHOULD FILL OUT YOUR SCREEN, THE REASON FOR THE SMALLER PICTURE WHEN IN REGULAR CABLE IS BECAUSE IT IS SENT IN 4X3 FORMAT INSTEAD OF 16X9.

I have the same promblem

If your watching a standard resolution(4:3) picture in wide screen format (16:9). than the picture will be stretched and the tops and bottoms cropped. look in your video or set up menu to change the resolution settings to standard 4:3
