Hi Clairewater, When you say clear, are you saying that there is not any image on the film or it is a good image except for the left side half inch?
The N2000 flash sync is 1/125 of a second, are you shooting higher shutter speeds. If so the shutter begins to close before the flash can fire making a portion of the left side dark. Also, the flash may be overpowering the remaining section of the film blowing it out.
If this happens without flash I would suggest you contact Nikon for a CLA, (Clean Lube Adjust).
The following I have mentioned to others: These cameras are worth $90 and less. As you can see it would cost more to have them fixed than to purchase a used N2000.
Look at http://www.keh.com, they are the largest used camera company in the USA if not the world. They are in the Atlanta Metro area. Having purchased many items from them I am a very satisfied customer.

SOURCE: why is my pictures very clear and 1/2 inch dark on

If so you are using flash you are above the X-sync speed. The shutter is not open for the duration of the flash making the shutter cover part of the opening.

Hi Brandon,

It sounds as if the color controller/circuit board is becoming sensitive and may soon disconnect. Don't be surprised if someday soon, the picture goes very dark or vanishes completely. Have a technician check it out with his test equipment to locate the exact problem.

The left side of the screen, about 3 to 4 inches in top to bottom has darkened. You can still see some picture there, but it's quite dark. I replaced the bulb, but it didn't help. What else can I do?

It sounds like the light tunnel is falling apart. This is a repair best left to the experts, you can call 1-800-samsung to find the nearest authorized service center.

I have have this TV for almost 3 yrs..now have a shaded area on the left side

The dark side of the screen causes of the lamp alignment or prism glass alignment. This is critical you have to consult your LG technician to do this. But if you have any background o repair consult the service manual. Please careful not to touch the prism quarts so that you maintained the clarity of picture and brightness on the screen.
