I Have Two Sony Bravia Lcd Tvs, 46', One Half The Screen Dark, The Other Complet
One of the TVs has the right side of the screen dark, the other is completely dark, but in both of them the image is visible, but kind of red. Is that the screen, I switched all the boards, one by one and found no failure in them, but one common point: the screen.
