I am having a frustrating problem with my Sony KDL-46XBR4 . It takes 30-40 mininutes to warm-up with colorful horizontal lines to boot! It is time to resolve this problem, hopefully it can be repaired at no cost, considering we spent a lot of $$$$$. If this doesn't get resolved i will never ever buy a Sony product again!!!! What Do I do?

If the problem is with the LCD display unit, Sony is now extending the warranty on the LCD display and will fix the problem for free through September 30, 2012. See: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/news-item.pl?news_id=378&mdl=KDL46XBR4 Call their customer service number and they will give you a case number. Then call one of their authorized service centers and they will fix it free, in home.

SOURCE: Sony kdl-v40xbr1 has horizontal lines

I'm having the same problem. I have noticed on mine that the menu when brought up is clear and I can see it perfectly. The picture on all the inputs is just as described above though. BUT, like I said I can see the menu just fine. This leads me to believe that it's not the panel. Anyone have a solution to this, or at least know what could be causing it?

I have coloured vertical lines covering my Sony Bravia LCD tv screen. The TV is only 2 years old. I have sound but a very distorted picture. The cable company has checked and says it's a tv problem. I will...

I also have a 2 yr old Sony KDL32xbr4 that now has multi-colored vertical lines on the screen. I contacted Sony and they say they have "no known issue" of this sort for this model. I find this rather puzzling since I have found numerous postings on the web. They told me to try the factory reset. Whatever. Might as well have said "don't buy a Sony". 2 years! $1300 for a tv and it lasts 2 years! Makes me sick to my stomach.

Dark area on Sony LCD screen model KDL-46XBR4

This model of SONY TV uses a Samsung display panel, the problem you have is the panel went bad.

SONY was offering an extended warranty to change the panel free, please call SONY to check it out that if they still offer the free replacement.
