    thank you so much for the info. Unfortunately, my warranty ran out on this product, which basically means I will be buying a new tv very soon. Thank you again for your help.

Tv turns on and off repeatedly does not seem to be the bulb as it is not burned out and the volume goes off in the past the volume stays on when the light burns out

If you have the extended warranty, use it immediately. This happened with ours after our 1 year warranty expired and found out it would cost us over $1000 to have it fixed. We've read that RCA used faulty glue that can't withstand the heat inside, causing a mirror to slowly slip over time. Our dark shadow keeps growing and growing.

RCA should have recalled this to fix it for everyone.

Top left and right corners are dark on my 55 inch seiki tv

The picture tube could be getting old.

Normally this effect can also be due to alignment with the magnetic meridian.
You can try to de-gaussing with a high voltage gun.

Hi, allow me to suggest using another lens to see if you still see the dark patches in the top corners. If not it is the lens, if so it is the camera. Either way it sounds as though something is maladjusted. Call Nikon digital 1-800-645-6689.
