Hi All,

I have an ancient 40 inch Bravia KDL-v3000 (i think that's the model number). I've had it since about 2007. Recently it has developed an occasional band of dark grey and green colours that spread from the bottom left across the screen in what seems like bands that grow and shrink.

When the TV is properly warmed up it seems to do this less frequently but I've noticed then that the colours of people's skin tones looks like they have red cheeks!!

So, what's up with my screen??

If it's time to take it to the tip, what can I get that's worth having for less than £600 notes? 50 inch or less. I don't want anything too big.

I have no 4K stuff, but I might have in the future and you can already tell I don't swap TV's often lol!!

I don't think they are vertical, more like Chunks of screen that go dark grey and green and then spread from bottom left upwards and across the screen. The right hand side of the panel seems unaffected as the "patches" never go beyond about 2/3rds.
