lcd screen owners, plz help, picture gone bad...


hi. i have a sharp aquos lcd. recently i have noticed a dark stripe from the top of my screen to the bottom and one side of the stipe is lighter than the other. it is hard to notice when the picture is on, but is easily noticed when the screen is black or the tv is on without a signal playing. is the tv dying or can something be done to fix? any advice or experience with this phenomena would be greatly appreciated.
