Hi, are tvs that are described as 42" actually 42" , i am thinking of buying the lg42lh3000, but the technical data, says its 1028mm wide, this isnt 42" or am i being a bit thick! you can be honest with me!!

You might have to enter its service mode options to adjust this fault. Actually entering in to service mode, and making data adjustments with it, is really a skilled work. Anyway, visit this site named'Electro-help'. Entering into service mode proceedings to many brand TVs are described in detail. Check it and determine whether you can do it by yourself or not. If you are not sure, do not get in to this mode, and make any adjustments there. Check this link, and select the site named above. Pull up older posts there.

Bother the shop once more and buy a different brand of TV.

The CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluroscent Lamp) at the darker end is not lit. Either the CCFL is fused or the ballast is needing repairs.

It really depends on your level of expertise. Usually this is technically a very involved repair

yes, stop using a plasma TV as a computer monitor. Using the TV this way is an invitation to phosphur burn which these are very prone to. The issue you describe is due to the limitations of the TVs scaler circuit to properly center the image in 720P.
