White washed out pictures -Sony KDL-46CX530 _Appeared this problem after about 2 yrs on a new tv. What a shame? I had Toshiba LCD 37" for 6yrs without a problem.Sony just has a name, no quality. Could someone try to solve this wash out picture problem? I did reset to default, in vain. Occures in all inputs.

Most likely this is caused by a defective main board. Changing the main board will fix the issue about 95% of the time.

To be absolutely sure, the voltages need to be checked on the power supply. If they are not the values listed in the service manual, then you should replace the power supply instead (accounts for the other 5% of the time).

Problems relating to the automatic turn on and turn off of a set like this usually point to the main board being an issue. For this set, I believe Sony refers to that board as the "AU" board.

It's probably not the G/Power Supply board, especially if it turns itself on. Power supplies will turn a set off, but rarely--rarely--turn itself on.

If there's no kind of extended warranty involved here,
you could be looking at $500.00 for parts and labor to repair this kind of problem.

As always, try any software/firmware updates Sony might have available on their website prior to pursuing a repair visit.

That symptom may cause by the main board or t-con board, I suggest you do software up grade first.
