Screen Distorted

On the right side about 4 inches of the screen will show weird streaks running vertical from top to bottom making these 4 inches of screen un viewable...when it powers up the Bravia screen is clear, when cool it takes a few minutes to go distorted, when warm it takes about 15 seconds to distort.

hopefully this is under some warranty since the LCD panel is at fault. Contact Sony to set up a repair, or complain if no warranty. Maybe they will help in getting you a new set or this one fixed.
