Mine has been going south with the vertical green bar problem for the past couple of months. Green bar(s) growing in intensity over time. No point in replacing parts, the fundamental technology is flawed; after another 9 months, it will fail again. I cannot believe Sony did not know about this defect in the system. My guess is that they released it to the field in an attempt to recoup their investment costs. For the first time ever, if a Class Action starts on this one, I will join.DO NOT BUY INTO THIS TECHNOLOGY!!!
