Re: Sony Bravia KDL46HX820 - Vertical stripey "haze"

I've seen many posts about vertical "artifacts" on the screen and even when some people were thinking it was the panel, low and behold they swap out the t-con and it works again. A replacement panel is $900 (not worth it), a replacement t-con is $44. I was just hoping to get a few opinions before possibly wasting my $44.. and more time..

Wow. Overnight this thread has dropped off the bottom of the first page.

So... *BUMP* lol

Hi,

I have a Sony Bravia 46" LED backlit LCD (KDL46HX820) exhibiting vertical stripes which on occasion look like "haze", mostly over the left hand side of the screen. The colour and positioning varies slightly depending on what is being displayed.

This fault displays on any input, even in the menus and internet tv. Most of the right hand side seems unaffected. When there is a drastic picture change (ie: exiting the menu), the lines introduced by the previous image stay for a while and slowly fade out. Some text from menus is almost still visible after...

Hi,

Old tech geek: Still frequently use my C64 & SNES.
Electronics geek: Amateur to moderate experience, have a good go at trying to fix things myself - failing that there is always Google and forums.
Work geek: Work as a service technician for an electronic security company. Fix things on a daily basis, mainly CCTV/alarms/access control systems.

Joined today to ask for advice on a Sony Bravia TV which has recently developed some vertical stripes that come and go. Posting in this...
