If your RCA PLD50A45RQ television has a shadow on the left side of the screen, it may be caused by a problem with the internal hardware of the TV. Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:

Check the cable connections on the back of the TV to ensure that all cables are securely plugged in. This could be the problem if the cables are loose or not properly connected.
Check the settings on the TV to make sure that the picture is not being stretched or distorted in any way. This can cause a shadow on one side of the screen.
Check the TV for any physical damage to the screen. If the screen is cracked or damaged, it can cause a shadow on one side of the screen.
Check the backlight of the screen, if it is not working properly, it can cause a shadow on one side of the screen.
If you have tried the above steps and the problem persists, it may be best to contact RCA customer service or a technician for further assistance.
It is also possible that the problem is with the T-con board or the LCD panel, in this case, it is best to consult a technician to check the TV and possibly replace the damaged component.

It's important to note that if the shadow is persistent and appears even when the TV is turned off, it could be a hardware issue that requires service or repair.

I have the same problem and was told by a technician that I need to replace the light engine. Probably around $ 700.00.

A little late and you've probably already solved it or are just living with it or are disgusted with it and have discarded the tv. But, in any event - here we go. The "light tunnel" bends the light toward your screen. At the beginning of that tunnel there is a plastic lens. The lens is secured with four little feet that a part of the lense. The lens is flat on the side closest to the screen. It fits on the end of the light tunnel closest to the light. The lens probably has a burnt spot. Probably the burn is caused by excess heat which is either a result of a fan failure or a one-time situation where the power went off while everything was hot and there was no cool down cycle. Another item to look at is in the light path before that lens. There is a small "window". It's actually a very thin piece of glass (about 1"X1") held in place by a horseshoe shaped clip and one screw. I think that glass has the purpose of keeping heat away from that plastic lens. If that glass is broken I think you'll have a heat "leak" and the plastic lens will continue to get worse.
