Posted this on avforums, but I thought I'd check with people here also in case they have any ideas.
I have a Hannspree Xv-S 37" JT02-37E2-000G LCD TV, and have had it for about 7 months and it's starting to develop problems it seems.
1. The first problem is a tracer effect left from images, could possibly be ghosting but I'm not sure how to describe it so I've made an image that will give a visible example of what is looks like:
2. Stuck pixels develop on the screen, however only appear after the TV has been on for a few hours. If I wake up in the morning and turn on the TV the pixels are all fine. But after a few hours a couple of them just seem to develop and don't go away until I leave the TV off for a few hours. It's highly annoying, but there's only 2 of them so I don't think this is enough to get a replacement.
3. I tried using my media centre PC on the HDMI port for a change from the VGA port, mainly to see if there was any visible difference and if the ghosting/tracers described in no. 1 would go away. However the picture quality is so bad and everything (such as text mostly) seems to have a little white border around it. Imagine when you run a LCD TV/Monitor at a non-native resolution and then put a white border around all the text - that's what it looks like (and yeah, it was running at the maximum resolution under the HDMI cable). The other problem is that when I used either of the HDMI ports, about 30 red pixels developed on screen. They weren't properly stuck though which was odd, if I moved my mouse pointer over the red dots it wasn't removing a part of the pointer and instead it was just colouring it red.
Help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
