Sony Reports Bravia LCD Malfunction

Sony has discovered a malfunction in 400,000 Bravia flat-panel and rear-projection LCD displays that it sold beginning late last year that causes them to stay turned on or not be switched out of stand-by mode after 1,200 hours of viewing. In addition to being sold in U.S., the malfunctioning units were also sold in Japan, China, other Asian countries and South America.

Reuters reports that customers who own a Bravia LCD and have it connected to a digital cable set-top box can have their HDTV upgraded automatically. However, if you've only got analog cable, Sony must send a technician to your house to fix it manually.
