Color is a bit flat, with noticeable shadows to the right of images. Sometimes clears up on its own after an hour or so. I'm haven't been inside a TV in quite a while -- certainly not these newfangled LCD things :-) so I'm hoping I can get some pointers before I crack the case.
At the moment my plan is to run it with the back off until the picture clears up, then go exploring with a can of freeze spray.
Other/better ideas?
The data to an LCD display doesn't have intrinsic left-to-right top-to- bottom time sequencing like the old TV or CRT monitor; I'd look for the input video source for the problem. Analog (RCA connector video or VGA) sources might have coupling capacitors for DC restoration, and those can fail to cause this kind of artifact.
