Problem with Sony LCD

Great. I am used to seeing this on my Dell Display. The panel on the left has gone bad and would probably need replacement.
 
You are underestimating the price of new TVs.Yes, these companies charge a premium for panel replacements. This is one of the reasons why I hate LCDs. This is why you get the model with the longest warranty and keep getting AMCs provided they are priced reasonably.
