I have a 32" Westinghouse lcd, which of course had its warranty just recently expire. I have now noticed a thin blue line running vertically from the top of the screen to the bottom. Some other websites describe this as "stuck pixels" as opposed to "blown pixels". I know very little how these things work, but I am trying to determine if it is at all fixable, or do I now own a $600 paperweight. Any input or information would be greatly appreciated!

That's too bad. Did you ever figure anything out from trying other inputs?

Close to 3 years ago, we bought a 32" Westinghouse which got about 4 hours use each day for the first 2 years and for the past year has gotten 10 - 12 hours use daily, 7 days per week. (Wife has been off work and the TV stays on all day, every day while I'm gone.) Being conservative, I'd say it has somewhere in the neighborhood of 6600+ hours on it and it still works like the day I put it on the wall.
