Our television has a dark shadow on the right hand

Our LCD flat panel television has a dark shadow on the right hand side. It looks like a smokey smudge,you can see through it but it is distracting. The screen is clean as a whistle so it's not on the outside. Any idea what it could be? The tv is less than a year old. Is it fixable or are we going to have to live with it? Thank you,Debbie

    but is there a way to fix this

  • Anonymous Apr 05, 2011

    If the panel is bad, which is happening to a lot of Sanyos . The only solution is to replace the panel (screen) it might not be available, its probably more expensive than simply replacing the tv. Sorry for the bad news. Call Sanyo 800- 877- 5036.

Solved: Over the course of time, the cheap plastic frame and stand starts to put uneven pressure on the LCD causing it to malfunction. I guessing this could be heat related. Definitely a design flaw. Remove the bottom of the stand and very slightly loosed the small screws around the back of the frame allowing the LCD to have some wiggle room. After I did this, it worked. It will still misbehave if you stress the LCD, but normally, it shouldn't. I am going to try to mount the TV using the rear VESA mounts & see if it will still work.
