The bottom half of the screen seems darker than the rest and there is a dark patch in the corner. any ideas?
Thanks for the picture - that's a big help.
It looks you have the dreaded light tunnel collapse common to all LG
DLP TV's. Inside the light engine there is a square tube made up of
four mirrors. These mirrors deform and crack with the heat of the lamp.
They fall down over the light aperture and cause a shadow of varying
degrees. It is fixable now at a realistic price ( used to have to
replace engine) as LG have made the parts available. It would take a
competent tech around three hours to complete or if you are technically
minded you could do it yourself. I hope this helps.

There is a shadowing on the left hand size of the screen that is slowly getting larger. It's shaped like a tall triangle, larger at the bottom of the screen. I have heard that there are several mirrors in the light engine that can get out of alignment due to thermal stresses. Is it possible for this to be fixed by the consumer, or does it need a professional?
I'm just accepting it as the shadow is still small enough to not be too much of a issue in watching the TV.
We have the same problem-- lower half of screen darker -- with our Sony Bravia LCD Digital Tv ---any solutions?
