Our Sharp LCD tv (about 45") is about 3 years old and has gotten dark, vertical streaks on right and left sides of the screen. They are more obvious when the screen is bright of course, very annoying. (We had a smaller Sharp tv that did the same thing and the streak just kept getting darker and wider. Eventually the tv just went out and would no longer stay on.)
What can we do about the streaks?
Thanks!
Hi, I have a Sony Grand Wega LCD Projection TV that has a blotted gray streak across the front of the screen. I only use a damp cloth to clean the window and that doesn't seem to help. It really shows up on light pictures and is unnoticed when the picture is a little darker. What can I do to fix this problem???
The panel went bad or connect a dvd to see if
the picture is normal if both tvs have the same
symptom then the tvs are not the problem.need a better antenna or get cable.
Inspect where the dark streaks are on the television. If the streaks occur at the same place on the top and bottom of the screen, they are due to the formatting of a movie or television show you are watching. This is normal. Also, if the streaks appear on the left and right of the screen, they are due to the show being filmed in full-screen instead of wide-screen. This also is normal.
Change the input setting so you are viewing the contents of a different device. If the dark streaks are gone, you know they are due to the device connected to it. However, if the dark streaks remains no matter what input the TV is connected to, the problem lies with the television.
