I've had this television since August and had nothing but trouble with wierd hazy lines on the side of the frame, warping in the corners, and what seems to be magnetic interference but have decided not to worry about these things until I move out of my college dorm in a few days because I called service techs twice and both times they got lost finding my place......
Recently though, especially when watching hockey games (bright white background of the ice) I am noticing lines going all the way down the screen on the very right and very left of the image. I am watching it in wide zoom mode so it is filling the screen. These lines are right where the black bars are when the tv is in 4:3 mode. Is this burn-in? If so I will be very angry at my roommates. I never watch tv in 4:3 mode, I always wide-zoom it but they hate that and always watch it in 4:3 mode when I am gone. I have come back from class several times only to find that the tv was left on in that mode when I begged them not to. I came back one weekend to find that the television had been left on in this mode all day. Is this the signs of burn-in and am I screwed? Is there nothing I can to do to fix it?
Please let me know anything you can tell me about this. It's constantly irritating me now. I feel like I have dumped money in the drain. Thank goodness I'm not with these jerks next year though.
