Hello! I have a Toshiba LCD TV, which I very much like. However, it is annoying me now because it has a dark line down the screen on the right hand side, where the right hand edge of a 4:3 image is when I'm watching stuff in that aspect ratio. If I go up to the screen and look closely I can see individual pixels, all of which look fine. But as soon as I get far away, that damn line is visible. But only when I'm watching light stuff. Light blue is especially bad and shows it off. Given that I cannot afford repairs or a new TV am I stuck with the line? It's not something that's really that important, but it's bugging the hell out of me. |

I was going to type up instructions of things to try, but this guy did it for me and even linked the tools he used for it. Worth a go. <edit> The tool is Mac Only so if you don't have a Mac to hook up to the TV, I'm sure you can get something for the PC and connect it with a VGA cable. |

Thanks. Would be worth trying if I had anything I could connect to the TV to run the screensaver. |

You could try making a white picture on the PC and putting that on the Xbox 360 and leaving it overnight, possibly. If you can get a PC to within range of the TV (and it has VGA) you could try http://www.jscreenfix.com/basic.php . It's a PC version. |

I had a problem some time ago with my old 36" Toshiba CRT - it wouldn't switch on for some reason. I called the warranty number in the manual, they sent a man around the next day and fixed it free of charge. It's slightly anecdotal, I know, but I was impressed with that level of service, so the worst case scenario is you could call Toshiba and they may fix it for very little if not nothing. |
