Sony W905a - remove intelligent core?

[DjP]

Hi,

Since the weekend I'm a very happy owner of a a 46" W905a - picture is fab compared with my five year old W4000.

Here's my question: the shiny silver bit with the Sony logo on it (apparently called the intelligent core I think) protrudes down from the frame and causes me to have a gap between the TV and the soundbar (both are mounted on a stand, so if they abutted with no gap it'd look much neater). Anyone know if this does anything (apart from change colour occasionally) and if it can be safely removed? I removed a couple of nearby screws in an exploritory way, but it didn't seem to want to budge...

Looking for some advice before I invalidate my warranty and kill my new TV! 😳

Thanks!

If i were you i would leave your tv as it is, as sony intended instead of trying to vandalise it.

I'm pretty sure that this isn't supposed to be removed!

Hi DJP

i'm glad you like your new set we have the same model and size, my advice dont remove as your likely to see a light leakage from the lightbulb thats built into the set. their for you will need a engineer to clip your bezel after fixing your fault. :shame:

Are you using the out of the box settings, i thought they were fantastic until i tweak my TV, My W9 has been a keeper ever since : Feel free to try
