A dark shadow has come across the right side of the tv. Its not straight up and down its in a cloud formation. I have tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, both with power off and with power on. Is this a problem or is this a setting issue?

Why am I constantly getting dark clouds on my screen when watching a film

That is a tough one Mrs Julie Gill. Do others see the clouds on the screen. The most likely reason is your eyes or a medical blood pressure issue with you.

Or is is the television failing.

Or it is in the film, new funky cinematography.

Or it is backlight bleed that you may be able to rectify changing settings.

Have like black shadow lines about 3 to 4 inches wide on my screen

Dark shadows can show up on a TV screen when the images have been displayed for a vert long time and have now become stuck in the LCD and the screen for your TV . Or the LCD and the TV's screen might be broken for your TV and needs to be replaced.

My zenith lcd tv has horizontal black lines whih form a band about 3 inches wide across the screen, sometimes the band looks more like a dark shadow than lines other times the right side of the screen...

This is either 1 of 2 things, first it could be faulty panel tabs , in this case, there is nothing you can do and is unrepairable....2) you could take the back off the tv and you will see 2 ribbons going from your t-con board to the panel tabs (top center of tv) remove them carefully and reseat them. This is a common problem. Tv repair tech 15 years! Best of luck.

The picture has a shadow

you're LCD panel is gone. To replace it...$1500-$2K. But there is a silver lining to this dark cloud. No pun intended. Sony has posted on the US and Canadian site they will repair the XBR4 at no cost! i have the link right here. http://www.sony.ca/view/882.htm Canadian. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/news-item.pl?news_id=378&mdl=KDL46XBR4 USA.

It claims its the 46" but it appears to be a 40-52" problem. If you have an extended warranty it will pay for it.

Black and white negatives produce scans that show too much contrast......any suggestions?

1) Decide which problem is the worst: shadows too dark or highlights too light. 2) Run your scan with Nikon 4 software tool "Digital DEE" adjusted for EITHER Shadows or Highlights (not both; Highlights setting will "trump" a Shadows setting, even though you have a non-default setting at all DEE sliders).  Generally good choices for Shadows are 39 to 55. (39 = lighten the shadows a little; 55 = lighten the shadows a lot.) Experiment; do several scans. Generally good choices for Highlights are about 17 to 42 for amount and about 4 to 30 for threshold. (17/4 = dim the highlights a little; 42/30 = dim the highlights a lot.) Again, you have to experiment to get some experience. 3) When in Photoshop PSD format (After first doing a Levels adjustment): Try using the Adjustments/Shadows and Highlights tool to AGAIN brighten your too-dark shadows and/or tone down your highlights. (I.e., the effect is cumulative on top of your Digital DEE effect. But Digital DEE is a more "magical" feature and is somewhat preferred to PS's Shadows and Highlights tool. DEE, however, will often produce an annoying "light smear" [bright area "dragged" into an adjoining darker area]. In case of a "light smear" from DEE, do not use the tool; too hard to fix.  Use PS's Shadows & Highlights tool instead.)  4) Proceed with other PS adjustments such as Curves, etc.  5) Still not satisfied?  Go to Levels again and look at your histogram. Is it really "stacked" to one side or the other (a mountain way over at the left or at the right)? You might want to try the rather severe command of Adjustments/Equalize.  This "spreads out" your pixels more evenly across the histogram. Note: this is a scary adjustment that requires misc fixes to tone-down certain aspects of the Equalization adjustment.  No free lunch, right? 6) After experimenting with the above tools, you should be able to get a handle on too-contrasty pictures. There will be a learning curve.
