I was suggested the BADCAPS site too by a SMF member. And Thank You very much to the SMF member too, Its a fantastic site, just like SMF is.
I do not remember what my flatscreens model was but.. It was ghosting too.
It did change its ghosting as the TV warmed up. Turns out they have a bad connection from the mylar ribbon to the glass screen (LED).
As the screen warms up it expands and the contact changes and the screen changes, but its still ghosting.
The answer was.... wait for it. Put a strip of foam door seal, with the sticky back to it, across the mylar where it contacts the screen.
This pushes the mylar onto the screen harder, fixing the problem.
I found that if I squeezed the top right edge of the screen the ghosting sorta fixed itself a bit.
Because theres metal arouynd the mylar contact area it cannot be squeezed by hand enough to fix it, but its easy to see that it makes a difference. And that its probably the contacts there that are causing the problem.
BADCAPS'COM has really set itself up to help the 'average joe' out as well as the proffesional. And as a great way to make some extra money for a lot of people in these hard times (for some) Just like SMF has.
In these times of dog eat dog, its really nice to find people are helping out each other. /kiwi
