Faint red lines in a curved arch like pattern

When it comes on with a blue screen is it rather bright and or has curved faint trace lines in the picture?

The tv problems is call a convergence picture problems,it is just starting to developing.This problems when it is fully developing into a convergence picture problems to the tv eventually.Tv will develope into a colors lines R,G,B mis alignments,have a colors shadow pictures or into a picture 3D look alike.Eventually the tv convergence board will dies,have to have it parts replaced like 2 STK convergence ICS and some or all of it resistors too.This problems the tvs shops will cost u like $300-350 for parts and lobors.

common problem with sony, focus and picture level need to be adjusted, should be done by a tech. (high voltage) in focus block.

Ur main video board backlight is the prob.Replacing it will cost u around $300.

Is there a cheaper solution? $600 sounds like you just throw it away to me...

you need to have the tv reconverged

You have a completely different problem. The screen voltage for the blue picture tube is slightly too high on your set. This will put fine lines in the background of the picture, called retrace lines. This is very common and easy to correct. Remove the front speaker cover and the access panel behind it. Look inside and you will see a black box with six controls, each control having a little white glue on it. This is the Focus/Screen block. Three controls are labeled Focus and three are labeled Screen. The screen control in the center is for green but I am not sure if the screen control on the left or right is for blue for your model. With the TV on, set it to VIDEO 1 but do not connect anything to the VIDEO 1 jacks. This will produce a pure dark picture, showing any faint lines in the background. Choose one of the screen controls and increase (turn clockwise) it slightly. If the blue lines do not get brighter it means you are turning the red screen control, so put it back where it was and choose the other screen control. When you find the blue screen control, decrease (turn counter-clockwise) it until just when the blue lines are gone. If you want you can check that the red and green screen controls are set to just below the point where their faint lines are visible. When done, replace the panels and your picture will be back to perfect.

Probable bad blue CRT and if blue goes bad guess what might
happen to the red and green.........T.

Guys I did this myself real easy. Just don't turn the corresponding screw too far. Only need to adjust it until the lines go away. Do it on a darker screen so the lines are more visible. I did the red 2 years ago and the green 6months before that. The blue lines are coming on my screen now and I've fixed it in 10 minutes. The TV is amazing.
