Hi

Concerning of your issue, all of us must check any abnormality in our TV unit and its performance:

• Hear unusual noise(clickings) or TV bending
• Unusual smell or smoking
• Temperature on lower part of TV frame that a human hand cannot afford(Very warm - Overheat)

Inform your local Sony Support

Hi there

I followed this escalation up with Sony today - even though they have not responded to you as of yet (and they will do), they have been working behind the scenes. 

Sony Japan will investigate further these faulty parts to determine a cause.  Let me state though, that there is no general wide-spread issue and hence no recall is required.

Sony will be in contact with you in regards to agreeing the best way to preceed in either a repair or replacement.

Please reply back and let us know when Sony contact you.

Cheers

This is shocking...

My TV creaks and clicks  when its on, is this a sign of the issues you have had?

I will check the TV in the areas to see how hot its getting, the last thing anyone wants is a TV going up in flames.

Mine is a 55 inch too but a different model, I expect the components used are the same too...

I am a bit more worried now.
