My tech friend went out on a new Sony 60" DLP rear projection set today. Complaint was on the left side of the picture there is two dark vertical lines thru the picture, about 2" apart. He described it as similar to the "snivits" in old TVs.Visable on all inputs. Note: With his signal generator these lines change appearance depending on the type of pattern used. He was instructed my mfgr to replace the light engine. This did not fix it. Anyone have such a problem? He says he suspects it is in the "conversion board" as he called it. Just guessing.
