How unhappy am i
Well got all our stuff today Yay.But our TV seems to have a problem all down one side of the screen the picture is a different colour and a bit on the other side Sony say it is to do the magnetism being different in Australia to the UK.Now this man works for Sony but i have to say I'm a bit sceptical of this dint know if he is pulling my leg he says it needs de-magnetising .Has anyone else had this and if so i live in rockingham WA and where did you get yous fixed thanks.

Leave the tv off for 24 hours, it may demagentize itself, mine did....

If not that have you got loudspeakers set up close to the tv ? They have strong magnets that can distort the picture so move them farther away.
If not that it's too technical for me

Iveheard of a tele being magnetised but not beacuse 'magnetism is different in australia' ****** eedjut , did he offer to tarmac your drive too?.
Try standing the TV upside down? that'll cure the aussieness.
You could try leaving it overnight on , if that doesnt work leave it over night off . Failing that bang it. <not too hard>.
I did magnetise my mum & dads tv once by holding a magnet to it for too long and it went away after a few days.
