Re: Big black U in middle of screen
Do you have unsheilded stereo speakers sitting next to each side of the set?
Can you post some pics of it?

The shop said screen was defected but RCA said it was not so no replacement. Anyone know what this could be? It is getting worse each day.

Has it been cleaned inside recently? I wonder if something has fallen into the projection lens and you're seeing the shadow of maybe a dustball though I'm not sure if would be seen with the set turned off. Maybe a problem with the renticular screen -- warped or dirty?
