| HDTV Burn in??
Hey guys,
Watching a year-old 32" LCD HDTV. Most of the time it's in Aspect mode so the sides are black. Watching a dvd (in widescreen) right now and have noticed that there are two very faint lines where the aspect sides usually are.
I didn't think LCDs could burn in like this. What's going on?

similar to plasma burn in, but correctable over the long run.
just use the set with fullscreen for awhile, even if you have to stretch the picture, it will go away within time. |

My computer monitor always does this, the taskbar gets "burnt in" after a few hours.
It's usually gone the next day after the monitor has been off overnight. |

If there isn't a thick protective layer over the screen you can typically massage the stuck pixels out as well.

I'm sure you guys consider a 'no-name' brand like Olevia 'cheap', but it was expensive enough for me!

There is no such thing as burn in on LCD TVs. Please read up on some of the myths.

I know there isn't but it was the only terminology I could think of to get the idea across.
