Black vertical bars on left side of screen

I have recently noticed that I have a 1 inch thick vertical black bar on the left side omy screen when I am using my video game system. The screen is perfect in every other way, it is like somethin is compressing the screen and during some gameply it seems to distort the line making it curve at places. My system is plugged into Video Input 3. I have tried a new AV cord and the problem is still present.
I am not having this problem when I using watching TV or on my DVD which is input 2.
Is this a problem with the TV or with the game system?
cna you help me out?

Hi

when you are using DVD, there is no problem directly indicate the problem is in video game. You can try by changing colour system of the TV (PAL,NTSC etc..) or the video game to fix the problem.

Thanks

There is a vertical black bar along the left side of my TV. It started as a thin yellow/white bar and has grown to be about 2 or 3 inches wide, blocking that portion of the screen.

The LCD wafer has gone bad, and more lines will begin to appear over time. It can be replaced but the cost may be comparable to replacing the entire television.

Vertical black bar on plasma screen

This is usually caused by a screen addressing fault. The location of the fault can be on the main screen driver board, or in the area for the screen address processing. It can also be matrix fault with the drive to the screen.

You will have to give the set out for an estimate. From this you can make the decision if the set is worth to service or not.
