I have a HD1080 Medallion (model #ws-55819) for about 7+ years. Now when I turn it on it seems ok. then after a period of time...minutes to hours the picture takes an hour glass appearance. I have tried to reset the convergence to factory under the advanced menu mode but it doesnt affect the hour glassing. The middle of the tv from top to bottom is more narrow than the sides. Hour glass laying on its side. Is this worth fixing or should I just get a new tv?
You wil find that the fault is in the scan correction circuit, ie. dry joint. Tap around the scan panels and you may get lucky. [You may see a small arc as thi circuit uses high voltages.
I have the same problem. New Tv or fix? Our local TV repair shops want $400-600.00.
Probably a power supply problem.
Get a new TV...

Try to unplug set and try it again as if the set was unplugged and then the self check done it will be 1,2 which means NO ERROR detected.
Let me know also what the set does?
