Samsung LTN325W 32"LCD TV video tearing

Sat Aug 21, 2010 12:08 am   

Color is a bit flat, with noticeable shadows to the right of images.
Sometimes clears up on its own after an hour or so. I'm haven't been
inside a TV in quite a while -- certainly not these newfangled LCD
things so I'm hoping I can get some pointers before I crack the case.

At the moment my plan is to run it with the back off until the picture
clears up, then go exploring with a can of freeze spray.

Other/better ideas?

video source for the problem. Analog (RCA connector video or
VGA) sources might have coupling capacitors for DC restoration,
and those can fail to cause this kind of artifact.
