My SHARP LCD has a burn in!?!

[Traian2003]

I have a 32" SHARP LCD, and I've been using it constantly 2-3 hours a day for the last year. Just noticed last week that there's a line that can be seen in somewhat darker scenes.

Now to explain. The line is a diagonal line running from top to bottom on the right side of the screen. This is exactly where the 4:3 lines start and it runs for about 4mm to the right. 90% of the time I watch 4:3 format, and the other I watch it in 16:9, which is the time that can be seen.

From what I know LCD pannels don't get burnins, but what is this?

It's most likely a banding problem.
Sharp are great tv's, its sad to see that they have banding issues.

i have that problem to except with some SD channels. What box are you using. I have the HD3250 from Rogers and as soon as i switch to HD channels it goes away.

Its the Boxes fault, at least in my case.

Try watching a DVD or something with a different input and see if its still there.
