Sony Plasma Question Model 37xs955 - Static?
Have a Sony Plasma (37 inch model bought in Dec. 04). In the past couple weeks I have noticed something that looks like static. It's all over the set if you get up to the set. This was not there before. You can notice it in blue's and other colors like when the DVD menu pops up.
Fortunately, from a foot or two away, you can't see it at all. But, this is bothersome.
Anyone have any idea why it's there or what it is?
Can this be fixed or is fixing a plasma too costly? I probably will just use the tv (static or not) for another year or two until I see what SED or other technologies have to offer. Also, waiting for cheaper prices.
Thought about selling it originally, but don't know if it's worth it. Don't know how I would pack it, how I would get it shipped, etc. I would want a service to pack it and ship it, but I don't know if any are available for a Plasma. Does the UPS store do this? I want a good service who will take care of it and make sure it gets to it's destination in one piece. I don't know the first thing about packing an item like this and wouldn't want to take the chance.
Thought about it before the static begun of course. Now, i'd be in a position. But, if I could get it fixed, I still might.

Well you need to do some troubleshooting. Is this "static" on every source? Is it on every channel? Is it there when other equipment is on? Do you have light dimmers in the room? Have you checked all your cables to be sure they are tightly seated?
