I just vacuumed out my 42 wega and it looks 100% better. Not for the faint of heart but it was free and only took me 2 hours.

Sony 60" LCD projection TV has yellow screen discoloration

I had had this TV for about 11 months when a yellow spot about 10" in diameter apeared along with a diagonal line to the middle of the bottom of the screen and up to the middle. The yellow lines went away after a few days but the spot remains. The discoloration mostly shows up on white or light colored pictures. Is there anything I can do to fix or help make this problem less noticable.

I would suggest to try to get this TV fix while still under warranty. Normally the manufacturers give one year.
In regards to the discoloration, there is not much you do but to let the Sony authorized repair center knows about it so they can fix it. Ask them if their work is guarantee as well for how long.
Good Luck.

thats a common symptom for that model which is usually related to the optical block. Very exspensive repair. Check with a sony authorized repair center as Sony has recognized the problem and offer assistance with certain models yours may be one of the ones affected.

Most of these sets the lamp has a 2000 hour lifespan and there is a built in counter keeping track of how many hours the set has been on; Most of these sets when you change the lamp you need to have information to get into the Tech menu to reset the timer to zero.

Some sets that lamp lasts longer and some less.

Look at the owner manual as the 10 blinks is a error code or Google the model number to locate that information--Sony error codes are general and often misleading.

I would if looking at the set inspect the lamp first.
