I'm pretty sure this is a bad panel, place a hand on each top corner of the TV, and push with one hand and pull with the other. Watching the screen for changes. You will likely see it either get worse or maybe even go good temporarily. This is evidence that the panel has connection problems and the repair will exceed $2000 if the panel was still available. Maybe you should call Sony and see if they will give you an offer on a new set. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=CONTACT
