Shadow down right side of screen on a toshiba 44NHM84 44" DLP television
I have seen this problem on the internet but never a solution. I have a 5" wide shadow down right side of screen on a Toshiba 44NHM84 44" DLP television. The set is barely a year old. It happened overnight one day and has been like this for about 2 months. You can still see the picture through the shadow. Any ideas?
I just noticed the same issue. Switched from the Xbox360 over to satellite and there it was....a nice shadow down the right side of the screen. Let me know if you here of a solution!I just noticed the same issue. Switched from the Xbox360 over to satellite and there it was....a nice shadow down the right side of the screen.

Have a 8" shadow down the left side of the screen. Set worked well for over a year but then developed this problem over night. Saw on one of the forums that it could be related to a problem with the light engine. called the local Toshiba rep and found out that to replace the light engine would cost almost as much as I paid for the set.

I"ve had about a 4-inch shadow on the right side of my screen for over 2 years now. One day it just appeared. It's not dirty. I suspect the mirrors or the color wheel inside may need to be adjusted, i've been too worried to open it up myselfI"ve had about a 4-inch shadow on the right side of my screen for over 2 years now.

Shadows at the bottom of the screen sound like moisture that was "wicked up" between the screen layers and dryed out leaving a stain. DO NOT get these screens wet, use nothing but a damp soft cloth; just a few drops of water running down the screen can cause a fairly large stain. Some people have suggested that they may be professionally cleaned, but the risk of damage is too great on the user level.

You need to replace the light tunnel.you will need to remove the lamp and color wheel along with the lamp housing and fan housing to replace it .If you are not comfortable taking things apart you might want a tech.
This can be the sync wheel assy, failure in the drive circuit for the display chip, or an illumination fault. You will have to give the set out for service.
Is it an LCD or DLP? The Model below suggests it is an DLP. Sounds as if you have the dreaded light tunnel collapse common to all LG DLP TV's. Inside the light engine there is a square tube made up of four mirrors. These mirrors deform and crack with the heat of the lamp. They fall down over the light aperture and cause a shadow of varying degrees. It is fixable now at a realistic price ( used to have to replace engine) as LG have made the parts available. It would take a competent tech around three hours to complete or if you are technically minded you could do it yourself. I hope this helps. Good Luck.
