Samsung LN-S3251D Burn In

I bought this LCD HDTV a little over a year ago and it's no longer under warranty. I'm sure it hadn't been setup and calibrated properly, but regardless, there is now a faint but thick vertical (although not entirely straight, so I'm not sure what it's from) line. It definitely appears to be some type of burn-in problem as it's there on all input sources. Is there anything that can be done at this point or am I hosed?

I'm attaching a picture I took with my cell phone. Please excuse the flash on the left, but does the vertical bar on the right look like it's burn-in, or possibly some type of interference, or what do you think?

That's not burn-in. Burn in is a distinct ghost or line that results from a persistent image being left on the screen. This seems more like a manufacturing defect.

Thanks, but I've had it for over a year, why would a manufacturing defect just show up now?

OK, I called Samsung and sent the image to the level 2 tech there. He wasn't sure, but thought it may be a defective board that's not syncing properly or a bad internal cable of some kind. Arrggggggg....I guess I'll have to have it looked at and/or repaired (if possible) somewhere. The tech did not think it was any kind of burn-in or speaker interference of any kind.
