Sony 46V5100 clouding issue

Just got this TV and it has noticable clouding on all four corners, especially at night during black scenes.  I see it's a common problem after googling it.  How do I replace this TV when its out of stock everywhere locally?

I had this same model and returned it.  I saw the clouding issues just like you are saying, but the deal breaker for me was the red flashing that this series is known for.  It happens on certain times where the red in the picture will flicker to a different type of red.  You can google "Sony V5100 series red flashing" and learn more about it.  I heard that it is really bad on The Daily Show.   I exchanged this tv for a Samsung and upon setting up the Samsung, I looked it over and found at least 2 dead pixels, so I am either going to exchange it for the same model or go plasma, I'm not sure yet.  I hope this helps you to make a wise decision about keeping or taking back your V series tv.  If you can't deal with these two issues, flashlighting and red flashing, I would not exchange for the same model because it seems they all have these issues.

  • 39l4300u dlna and cloud issues

    I just received a 39L4300U a couple days ago. Picture is amazing, I'd even go as far as saying overall quality is better than the Sony I just got a couple months ago. Sound is good too.... for a flat panel. 
    Now the problems - 
    TV will not create cloud account. You enter a username and the thing freezes. You can exit and view tv, but if you go to use any other feature that requires the use of the on screen keyboard, it freezes again.
    I gave up trying to create an account and skipped it. 
    But then it would take 30 seconds or more just to load the content screen, and then navigation was sluggish. 
    Tried Media Share, it played everything I threw at it. Except the load times between screens were terrible. 
    I called tech the next day, they said reset the tv, if problem still occurs return it. 
    TV recovers from reset. 
    Still no cloud account creation.  Skipped it again. This time it's fast....er. 
    Test some more and now I can't tune in to any of the rf channels on my coax. I can't use the web browser. 
    Called my distributor I purchased the tv from, he said deprive it of power and try again. 
    Upon reboot of the tv, I was able to use Browsing, FIx my tuning, and Use the basic content on the cloud interface. 
    So I figured I was good. 
    Later that night, I try to play the same mp3 from the same server I had the night before. This time I get "Unsupported Format",  or Media Error. 
    Changed TV to power completely down when power button is pressed. 
    Still no media upon reboot.
    Turned on the Media Rendere that I chose to skip after the reset, Still Nothing. 
    At this point (being a Toshiba Telecom Dealer) I figure it's more of the same, we have a great Idea but we're going to put the bare minimum hardware in to make it work. 
    So What's the Fix? Do I get a new set and try it again? Is there another software update coming? Why can't we do the account creation with our PC's instead? Is there a thrive in my TV running my TV? 
    Most importantly, with the technology we have today, with devices that fit in your pocket having Quad Core processors, why in the heck am I even having this problem? 
    It's just so darn disappointing that such a great image and sound producing television is bogged down with wimpy hardware, and what seems to be flakey software. The size of this tv that's closest to my Sony, isn't all that much cheaper, yet the sony seems to have no problem browsing, DLNA, Loading the Smart Apps, or anything like that. Unfortunately it is plagued by washed out color on the HDMI inputs. OTA and Hulu are great. Hulu even outputs Dolby Digital. 

    Update : DLNA Issue was my fubar. The unreachable server was in a different subnet, Layer 3 reacheable but not Layer 2. 
    I think all the kinks are worked out, but I will recommend that you not allow the TV to do fast boot. The OS is kind of like windows in the essence that it needs a full reboot for things to continue working properly. 
    Feature Requests - 
    AVI playback. - Fortunately I have a Sony BDP connected to this set that has AVI playback, so not a deal breaker. 
    Metadata display when playing Music Files. Like Album Cover, Album Name, Artist, Title.  My Sony TV does it.
    Pandora Client persistent login, or at least a "history" feature. to save typing in the credentials everytime. 
    Create web portal for PC users to create cloud account. A PC's cpu is going to be better at dealing with the inquiries required to determin if a user name is available or if a email address is already in the system. 
    Allow cloud users to set how there display looks and what Apps are available. No sense wasting CPU loading unwanted crap. 

  • Mac mini and Sony tv resolution issue

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased a Mac mini for the purposes of hooking it up to my 51" Sony Wega HDTV. I took the mini out and connected the DVI adaptor that came in box and then hooked the mini to the tv via HDMI cable thinking this was the best possible connection for my mini. I have an issue where the screen is over flowing off the TV screen. I looked in system preference and have very limited resolution options but 1080i was selected and also over scan was checked. If I deselect overscan I get borders which I don't want. My tv doesn't have many options so how can I calibrate these two to work togethor?

    I just discovered this is not a TV issue at all...
    Uh, yes it is. Overscan is a condition unique to TVs. Computer monitors don't do it (overscan) hence there is normally no need for the kind of graphics card driver you are talking about, e.g. one that has precise control of video borders.
    Many TVs on the market today have a method for defeating overscan, tucked away somewhere in their menu system, in order to allow the TV to be used just like a computer monitor. That is always the preferred solution when it is available because it will make the best possible image on the TV.
    Your TV is a rear projection TV. Such TVs are not well suited for use as computer monitors because overscan is naturally baked into the optics architecture, meaning the manufacturer deliberately sets the mirror and lens system in such a way as to cause the native resolution (1280 x 720 in the case of your TV) to extend beyond the edges of the projection screen. Therefore it is impossible to get the native resolution of the projector's engine to display fully and perfectly on the screen. Only scaled or bordered version of it can ever be displayed. It's all fixed at the factory and there's no getting around the fact.
    For the original G4 Mac mini that had ATI Graphics, there was a driver like the one you found for your father's Windows computer that allowed video borders to be set independent of resolution. But apart from that early effort on the part of ATI, I have not seen anything like that since for minis that have graphics based on Intel or nVidia hardware. I think you are going to be stuck with the dark video borders as a necessary limitation of the TV you own in the absence of any driver to counteract that limitation.
    I believe the media center front end app called Plex has a facility for setting video borders, but I've never used it personally since I am able to turn overscan off on my TV. So I can't vouch for how well it works. And in any case, since it is bound to the app, it will only be active when Plex is running and not when, say for example, the Finder is in use, which is when you most need it.

  • Sony Bravia 32LCD issue

    Hi.  I bought a Sony Bravia 32 inch LCD TV in July 08.  Last night the TV picture turned blurrey.  The first three inches of the TV is fine.  But below that you can still see the picture but it blurrey and the words jump abit.  I called the cable company to rule out a cable issues.  Checked all the plugs and stuff, nothing.  So I called my local Best Buy and the guy said it could be a panel issue.  Happens on all channels and when a DVD is in.  No one is avaiable until 12/24 to look at it.  Does anyone know what it might be?  I am kinda mad I have to wait almost a week to get it even looked at.  Thanks.

    Which graphics card do you have enabled? The integrated Intel or discrete ATI? Which OS? Latest drivers?

  • SONY TV Skype Issues - no audio on KDL-46W905A

    Hi,
    I own a SONY KDL-46905A TV and recently bought an overpriced CMU BR200 Webcam.  When I connect to another party, they can hear and see me but I can only see them.  I have tried it with a few people and checked that their end is not on mute.  When I switch to audio only, I can hear them (but not see them).
    I think this might be an issue with the Sony application, so I factory reset the TV to prompt an app down.  However, I still get no audio for calls I recieve with video.
    As it stands, I have wasted my money on a web cam.  Does anyone know a fix?
    Neil..

    Thank you Mr. MBSteed.  I moved the HDMI cable from my Apple TV from the HDMI2 input on my Samsung TV to the HDMI1 input and it now works fine! I think I read somewhere that there are some differences between the HDMI inputs on the Samsung, but I don't understand them.  Odd, everything worked fine until we started using Airplay, then suddenly I had no sound from the Apple TV.  Hopefully this is a permanent fix.  oh....I have the new Apple tv May 2013.
    Thanks again.

  • HELP!  Sony miniDVD camera issues with iMovie.

    I have a Sony DVD403 connected to my iMac, trying to bring over movie files to iMovie via USB connection. Apparently Sony records in MPEG format, and I cannot get iMovie or QT Pro to "see" my files....SONY support is no help. Is this Sony camera not supported on Mac? Am I going to have to ditch this $$$ mini DVD camera and invest in a DV camera??? Any and all suggestions welcomed!
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    welcome busy to the  board...
    that "miniDVDcamcorder not supported" is a well discussed issue here, just read a few pages, if you're not too busy doing so...
    a) iMovie is a video edit app meant to work with firewire connected miniDV camcorders
    by concept, no word of DVD... mpeg2 is a delivery format, not meant for further processing...
    b) iM can control cameras just by firewire protocol, not usb
    c) you can import miniDVD content, but...
    d) don't insert miniDVD in slot-in drives => get an ext. dvd drive..
    e) dvd/mpeg2 needs conversion, choose....:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/import dvd, hit apple-k
    Am I going to have to ditch this $$$ mini DVD camera and invest in a DV camera?
    best practise, in case you want to use iMovie....

  • I Pad 4 - I Cloud issue

    I updated my i-phone 5 to IOS7 when it suggested I do so and without doing research on it first - should have!  I hate the look of the calendar it's really hard to read - and all of the information I had previously inputted for the upcoming months appears to have disappeared.  But the main issue I have now is that my I-pad 4 which was connected to the I-phone by I-cloud has a "blurb" frozen on it that says "ICloud Backup - This Ipad hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks.  Backups happen when this Ipad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi" and gives me the OK option.  (I have been out of the country for 3 weeks thus no back-up).  Although I have followed all instructions, I can't get this blurb to disappear by pressing OK and I can't turn the device off to re-set.  The Ipad continues to appear to work as notifications are appearing behind the frozen "blurb". This appears to have just happened since I updated my Iphone to IOS 7 - any suggestions?

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  This just restarts it, you won't lose any data.

  • Creative Cloud Issue - Error 205

    Okay, this is kind of annoying. I'm trying to download Creative Cloud onto my computer, just the install manager (step 1) and it keeps giving me the same error when I click on the set up program. I've done everything suggested by other forum answers and the general tutorial and step by step stuff that they tell you try first. None of it worked. I'm still getting error 205.
    Other Info:
    I use Google Chrome and I have Windows 7 (64-bit)

  • Sony NEX 5N Issue! Camera turns on, but shows no info on LCD and goes dark after shutter release.

    I have a Sony NEX 5N, that has been a great camera since I originally purchased it. It suddenly started to have a strange issue that is rendering it useless. The camera turns on, and shows an image on the LCD. You can even focus and take a shot, but the LCD is missing all info, and all buttons are useless. After taking a pic, the camera goes dark, and stays there. I've tried a soft reset, and removing the battery for extended amounts of time. Is there anything else I can try?

    Hi jdotlopez,
    Welcome to the Sony Community!
    From what you've described and from the troubleshooting that you did, I would agree with bitsnpieces that the camera may need service.
    You can set up repair for your NEX5N camera at http://www.precisioncamera.com/.

  • Creative Cloud issue with serial number (Photoshop CS6)

    Hi.
    I run Windows 7 64 bits. I just suscribed to Creative Cloud after my Photoshop CS6 evualuation period expired. I am now trying to launch PS CS6. I click the "Licence" activation button, connected with my adobe ID (with which I sucribed to Creative Cloud) but it stills asks for a serial number, which was not given to me. I tried uninstalling the whole Adobe product family from my computer and then downloading and installing again Photoshop but issue remains. I can't use Photoshop even though I paid for it the my current subscription is going on, I don't know what to do next. Thanks.

    There is a forum specifically for Download, Install and Setup Help HERE. Maybe they can answer your question.

  • Is sony correcting the issues with the PS4 controllers. The material for the analog sticks need to be changed.

    I would like to get a ps4 but both my friends ps4 controllers analog sticks are tearing. I have used both the ps4 controller and xbox1 controller, I like both but prefer the lighter feel of the xbox1 analog sticks they are more comfortable and durable. I dont want to buy a xbox1 but if sony does not correct this issue it will sway my decision. I really like the additonal power the ps4 offers but the controller is a major concern. When microsoft came out with the 360 it had reliability issues, microsoft instead of fixing the problem had consumers send there 360's in for repair. They would not admit they made a mistake with the design of the system and the so called repair was temporary for may consumers as it would just overheat again and you would experience the same red ring of death. My 360 broke 3 times which made me lose all faith in microsoft as a company. The decieved consumers instead of correcting the issue. I hope Sony learns from their mistakes. Dont send consumers the same flawed controllers, admit there was a production mistake and fix it!!! If you guys change the material and correct the issue please email me, if it is corrected I will be a playstation owner if not I guess I will have to go with microsoft. I would also love to see analog sticks with less resistance, closer to the xbox1 sticks.
    Thanks for listening hope you take these comments into consideration.

    Please share your suggestion on  Sony PlayStation Community here. I'm sure they'd appreciate it. Thank you!
