A fellow boardmember from another site has a problem with his Sony XBR. Anyone seen this problem before?

Surprisingly this was only on the top 4/5s or so of the set. The bottom 20% was perfectly normal. Anyone see this before? I'm pretty sure it's the TV and not my cable as the same thing happens when I throw on a DVD. I'm not worried as I am covered by my extended warranty but it still sucks. Here are a few pictures of what it looks like:

ouch, that looks bad. I've never seen anything remotely like that on my XBR.

Assuming all his connections are tight, that looks like a damaged set.

They will have the answer. It doesn't look like you will get much help here.
