woodware,
I'm not sure what you mean. It only shows up in dark areas?
Could it be some sort of burn-in or image retention?

Hi,
I have 3 years old LCD InFocus TD40P unit with Samsung panel.There are some darker areas,shadows,in vertical direction.Most visible on blue or gray back ground.Looks like a drapery on the window.Is that from the backlight problem or comes from the LCD panel or what?Looks like dirty.
The position of shadows is unchanged in all modes,pics e.t.c.
Any idea?
