Hi

Sorry to say theirs nothing that can be done about that...
The panel is damaged it doesnt happen as much as plasma burn in on LCD but can happen, to replace the panel is not an option due to the cost

Sorry for poor news here

Relist: Incomplete answer.
Are you saying panel needs replacing? What is a reasonable cost for a TV that can be replaced for $600?

Customer replied386 days ago.

Thanks for the replacement estimate. One final question, though. What causes this to happen to a TV that is only 4 yrs old? There have been no extreme temperature fluctuations or improper care of the TV.

Thanks.

There are 2 things that happen 1 is an un uniform blob looking burn and the other is a 4X3 box looking burn
and its cused by not utilizing a full screen as the area with the pix is hotter than the area in black
and the polorizer film starts to discolor
the other is caused by DELAMINATION of the film to the LCD panal
both are casued by heat and usage ...
and design flaw
