I have been doing some reading on the optical block issues but I have not come across any symptoms like mine (see attached) This was noticed after the set had not been used for approx 3 months. The blue dots are only on the left side of the screen. Optical block or other cause?

Yes it looks like an optical block problem. The blue lcd panel is going. I have a 60xs955 and have been lucky so far. I also have a mitsubishi wd-62527 that looks just like your pictures but it also has yellowing. There is a place online that rebuilds the blocks. They quoted me around $265 + shipping for my mitsubishi but I haven't decided if I'm going to do it.

I have heard of a person on this forum that rebuilds them. I am not sure who it is yet.

Try giving these people a call....

I've seen two names mentioned for OB rebuilding: Tri State Module and John Breton.

Just to let you know.

If you're on Facebook, there is a group called "I Have A Defective Sony TV" offering plenty of good advice for fellow consumers who've been experiencing problems.

I cannot post url's yet, but look for the group if you're a FB member.
