Doesn't sound right to me. Have you gone back to the retailer you bought it from and queried it with them?

I have got the same thing on my TX37LXD70 and its only 2weeks old - there are other threads (within the last fortnight) on here with at least another 3 people who have the same issue on the same TV. When you search the net some people claim this normal on LCD TV's. One moderators elsewhere said "be prepared for a long search to find an LCD without some backlight bleed".

Mine seems to to all but dissapear within about an hour of the set being switched on and is only noticeable on a blank screen - I cant say it affects my viewing at all (even on dark films etc) but it is there on a blank screen (i.e. no input) and If I thought it was a genuine fault I would do something about it. Problem is that I have read lots of posts were people have exchanged TV's 5/6 times and still have the same issue.

That seems to sum it up nicely.

We test TVs on their performance with Freeview, DVDs, HD TV and HD discs - the only time a blank screen is examined is when switching sources/waiting for discs to load.

And yes, we would/do comment on what seems unreasonable amounts of backlight bleed from an LCD, but if it's not affecting the performance with TV or movies....

exactly - why worry if you cant notice it.

the problem is i can notice it, its very annoying, ill rind the deaer see what they say

For what it's worth, I don't get any noticeable backlight bleed on my 40in Sony Bravia LCD. Maybe I'm just lucky.

the dealer is comming top pick the tv up on monday, he said he will want it for about a week while they repair it.

I didnt think you could really do a lot to repair these lcd tvs, if he agrees there is a fault i would be suprised if he can reapir it by just relpacing parts???

any thoughts

You could replace the entire backlighting system, but I'd guess in most cases they just swap it for a new one...
