Partial blacking / shadowing of the screen

The screen will shadow or blacken out, but ususally on only part of the television and then go back to normal. This is ongoing and the television is only a couple years old. Other televisions in the house do not do this so it is apparently the VIZIO.

Sounds like the backlight inverter board is going out, or possible backlight ccfl going bad. The inverter board can be replaced but the actual ccfl's may not be able to, depends on the repair shop's in your area.

I just replaced the color wheel on my samsung hln5065w. Picture is great but there is a shadow on the right side of screen from top to bottom. The shadow on the top of the screen is wider across the screen...

Its a Good Possibilty that its the New Color Wheel causing this,if the colors are not complete on the color wheel then that will be why you are seeing shadow on right hand side of screen.
I know I ordered color wheel for mine and had to send it back,it did the same thing.
I compared it to the old color wheel and the new one did not have Solid colors on it.

Can you see picture behind the shadow? or is it shadow and no picture?

Shadow on lcd tv screen

A shadow of any kind showing up on a LCD TV is going to be a defective LCD panel. If not under warranty your replacement cost for the panel (if available) will far exceed replacing the TV with a new one.

Color Alignment

the most common problem when the tv felt is the shadows all over the screen (maybe the tv didnt show it imm but looks like now is there the problem)
second:there is a circuit in the tv that works when the tv turns on every day. prevents the tv showing shadows on the screen.
the answer is this: if that system that prevents shadowing is working then the CRT is broken and say bye to the TV. But if the expert tech can make sure the D' gauss system is not working and can repair it then you get tv back.

Hi,
Seems convergence out IC is fried in TV so it gives blue shadow.

Check out Convergence Out IC which you need to replace in TV, if you have enough experience of repair of big TV, necessary tools and know basic electronics.
