Video burn My Samsung flat screen recently developed a problem where an outline of an image seems to be "burned" onto my screen. Even when I change the channel or turn the tv offand then turn it back on. The outline of the image is still there...help!!!

U have a burn in image to LCD screen panel like display the same image too long like hours in and out.Sorry this problems,have to live with it.Can't remove burn in images problems.

set your monitor to shut off automatically so the images won't burn onto the screen

Unfortunately this is an unrepairable problem called screen burn.

This happens commonly with old displays and can only be fixed by replacement.

More information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_burn-in

U freeze video games 10-20 mins in video game alot of time.Never pause or freeze any kinds of video image in Plasma tv.It very easy cause to burn in Plasma tv problems alots.

Any still image for a long period of time will burn into the plasma panel, id advise using a lcd or crt television. To avoid all screen burn , dont leave on and on the screen if not playing. Hope this helps.

Do you normally leave this set on a specific channel...such as CNBC or BLOOMBERG tv...etc that maintains a regular scrolling image???

If so...on sets that are a few/several years old...the projection tv screens can develop what's called a "burn" or "burned image" on the screen...similar to wearing a path in your carpet from heavy traffic areas. Newer models do not have this issues...but many older ones do.

Unfortunately, this is a very common problem with LCD televisions and some plasmas as well.
This is what the industry calls burn-in. That image is on your actual screen as opposed to it being caused by any other component in the tv. Really there is no convenient remedy short of replacing the actual LCD screen which can be done. Even by embedding another picture to lessen the effect of the burn-in would never restore the picture to its true quality. Good luck and God bless you.

I have not noticed that with my set, Sony Bravia 2007 1080I.

Uh, I have a bigger problem though...

I had just paused my live tv for about 40 minutes on abaseball game and now I have green burn in.
I'm in the middle of searching the net for solutions. I have tried:

pure white screen for 30 minutes (no change)
"fuzz" for 1 hour (no change)
turn TV off for 12 hours (no change)
I'll now try to power down fully for 12 hours and see what happens.

when images are burned in the lcd panel they are just burned in
he lcd panel will need replacement.

most manufactures say not to have a still image on the screen for more than 15% of your viewing time. to fix this you will have to replace the optical assy. i did come across a sony projection where the burn in was actually on the screens themselves. the only thing you can try is to put an all white video pattern on your tv for at least 48 hrs.
