This happens for about 40 minutes then it starts working perfect again for as long as the TV is turned on. If I then turn it off for 5 minutes and turn it on again Ive the same issue and have to wait 40 minutes before the ghosting and blurry picture on the right hand of the screen disappear, the TV has being like this over a year any ideas? Could it be a flex cable loose? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
First of all, try changing the input to some other like a DVD player and see whether you notice the same problem. If yes, the problem is in the input device. If no, there is some defect inside the TV like dry solder, leaky/dry/shorting capacitors etc. and this should be handled only by a qualified service technician.

Hi Darnez,
It sound like to me that one of the boards that power the bad side of the screen is getting hot and quitting. The boards are not too expensive to replace but getting them is generally the big problem. ( At least for our company). The set would be worth tkaing to a local shop and have it looked at, but replacement costs are going down every day it seems.
Good Luck
I hope in some way this has helped

It sounds like the entire screen goes blank with your problem. My problem is the lower half of the screen goes blank. Do you think the SSB is also the problem? What are your thoughts about the "Video Board" or the X Board?
Do you know where to purchase parts?

I had this problem on my 42" Philips. Just got it yesterday and worked fine on the tv stand. As soon as I mounted the TV to the wall via wall mount system, I had the exact same issue you did. Figured it out today.
The wall mount was putting pressure against the center of the back of the tv (tv set had a slightly rounded back plate, and the mount was a flat plate). As soon as I put spacers (part of the wall mount hardware set) between the wall mount braket and the tv so there was no contact except at the mounting holes, the tv worked fine.
My theory is the pressure pushed the tv back plate against some board components which caused them to overheat (no air flow); or put pressure on internal connectors. I dont know.
Hope this helps, may not apply to your situation.

Hold a flash light to the screen after it goes off and see if you can see a faint picture. Sounds like your backlight might be cutting off. Repair can be expensive but some of the newer units don't require the entire LCD to be replaced.
