    Hey - I have this problem with my display, where diagonal lines briefly appear during instances where there is a slow panning scene in movies or scrolling through pictures. I could live with it, but it's quite noticable sometimes. I told Sony support about it and they said they can take care of it (hopefully). Right now the display (besides the lines) is perfect, no dead pixels. I'm worried that if they end up changing the panel, what if I get one with some dead pixels. Will they change it again for me, or if there are not enough pixels, it is my problem? I feel it's a refresh rate or LCD pixel response problem, because if I move my head close to the screen then back out really quick, I can make the lines appear, so maybe it's because of me. What do you think may happen?

    - Eli
