Noticing LCD burn-in where the 4:3 bars are.

[aircooled]

My HD LCD TV is showing 2 vertical burn-in lines where the 4:3 bars are normally at during SD programs. Anyway to reverse this?

LOL ur funny.
LCDs do not have image burn-in, rather they have image rentention, this can be corrected by putting an all-white picture on there or just leaving the display off for ~30 minutes.

I can turn it off all night and the lines are there in the morning. haven't tried the all white yet.

Try to take pictures of it, it isn't burn-in. Most dispalys, even CRTs, don't burn in with some 4:3 images unless it is in "torch mode".

It's not very common, and it's not called burn-in, but it can occur. According to Apple, it's called "image persistence". Here's a link to their article on how to avoid it and get rid of it.

Maybe it's dust from static?:moon:

I actually think this image persistence problem might be partially responsible for all the banding issues on the LCD 46" Sharp Aquos LC-46D62U. Mine started out with no banding at all, but the last week it has cropped up in some spots, mostly noticeable where the black bars are at the top and bottom of the screen from letter boxing! I also noticed it was more noticeable on some connections, like regular RCA video jack, and less noticeable on SVHS in standard definition mode. On composite, playing a DVD it is hardly noticeable at all.

Going to hook my new HD-DVD player up in a while, and see if it is noticeable on there. Another odd thing is the banding bars seem to move around depending on what feed I am sending the TV. It may also be some sort of weird input problem, not related to the LCD panel at all.

BTW, what brand LCD do you have, size and model number?
