Shadows on screen

Sylvania 26 in lcd hdtv

Purchased the TV approx 1 1/2 years ago.

After approx 8 months, strange, funnel shaped vertical shadow started to appear on the right side of screen. This shadow gradually became larger and now measures nearly 4 inchines on the top of the funnel to approx 1 in on bottom. 2 wavy vertical llines are beginning to appear near the center of the screen. They reach from top to bottom. A small 3 inch in diameter circle shadow is beginning to appear on lower part of screen between tornado and wavy lines.

Any suggestions?

Try moving a medium powered magnet (not one for picking up heavy objects and not a refrigerator holding one) over the distorted area. If that doesn't work, try a more powerful one. This worked for my Toshiba LCD. Good luck!

47 inch Toshiba LCD REGZA TV - screen has what looks like water stain or "woodgrain-like" shadows/artifacts. They go sort of vertical but are not straight, (look like wood grain shadows). Not real obvious...

The only way might solved this problem,to replaced the Tuner Signal board.If the board is replaced have same problem,then ur tv have some kind of dead pixels burns in.Tries Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com for the board part.
