Bought a Kuro-500M around October 2009.
The last few months it's developed a problem, mostly with 720p and 1080i inputs. Source doesn't seem to matter, it happens with our DirecTV HD DVR and a HTPC.
About 1/3 of the time there is now blue noise on the screen. It also has a habit of blanking for anywhere from 1-10 seconds at a time. Doesn't seem to be associated with being cold or warmed up. Sometimes it will go hours with no problems, sometimes it's near constant. Switching to a SD input usually fixes the problem.
Below are a couple of photos of the screen illustrating the blue noise problem.
Is this a known problem with a remedy, or am I about to buy a new TV?
Thank you.
