I would inspect the lamp for signs of being blown or damaged.

You have a bad optical engine. This is a really good tv. This was caused by overheating. Tv is full of dust or in a cabinet. Its worth repairing. I would contact a local tv repairman. this is not a job a consumer could do,

I\The four blinking red lights means that it is the fan!!! It is an easy fix. It is caused by dust in the fan and the fan not working properly as a result and the T.V. overheating. Take off back and carefully take out fan and dust it off. I vacuumed the inside of my T.V. and also blew the fan with compressed air. It now works perfectly. I found this solution elsewhere on the internet and it worked.

if it was working ok before then ring up and complain and get him back as he did not do the installation properly.

Sounds like your light engine might have broken. Its around a $400 fix and I noticed Tri-State is having a sell on there about 341 its easy to replace it here is the link http://www.tristatemodule.com/casearch.aspx?SearchTerm=kds-r60xbr1&asug=&view=grid&lang=en

When was the lamp this model uses for brightness last replaced? These as a rule have a 2,000 hour or 2 year average lifespan and many just before they fail will go darker, picture will come up slower and be a bit dim.

try spinning the lamp fan if it doesnt spin these fans sometimes go bad or get clogged with dirt.

That model should blink a series of blinks for an error code. Let me know how many blinks and I will assist with the issue.

The info does not tell what is wrong---set has more than one fuse and if dead the set may still have lights on the front that light or blink (red one) in a specific sequence--5 blinks, pause and 5 blink etc.A bit more info is needed to assist you.

If it has a lamp that has not been replaced in a long time it may be that---if it turns on slow and is somewhat dim that points to a lamp that is about to fail---set detects if lamp not full up or bright enough etc.

you have a power supply problem. The red lights indicates a power source failure. Probably a chip failure that is drawing too much power... needs a good tech guy to isolate the problem...
