Image burnt into TV screen?

Question

My brother has a 37" Phillips TV. (I think its an LCD HD TV, but I don't really know. All I know is is that it was really expensive).

There is an image burnt into the screen of a little box where you enter the zip code in some menu. You can still see the TV show that you are watching, but there is that little box in the middle of the screen that is really annoying. I was just wondering if there was any way to get rid of the burnt in zip code box.

Thanks.

Usually nowadays it isn't image burn but image retention. It can be fixed. See the article for details. http://dvice.com/archives/2008/05/shift_...

Answer 4

Thats freaky

Answer 5

It must be a plasma. Theres nothing you can do. Thats why you should read about the tv before you dish out thousands. You could call the store and see if you can get a refund or a new tv but I dobut it. Good Luck

Answer 6

You gotta buy a new tv, unfortunately.

Images can burn into computer screens too, ya know.

That why you should turn em off when you aren't using them or get a moving screen saver.
