I have a 32 inch LCD TV and it seems its suffering from image persistence. I turned on my DVD player for a while and it was left in the home screen which is bright blue. One menu tab was open and I finally turned the DVD player off and put it to a TV channel. As soon as I turned to the TV channel I noticed a dark line running across the tv where the DVD menu line was running across. It's like an after image which was burned onto the LCD screen (I know LCD's don't suffer burn in). I believe it's image persistence, and i'm wondering how can I fix this? Many websites state that I should turn it off for a while or run a white screen for a while. I turned it off for about 10 hours and still the same. Has this happened to you? What should I do? Please help, thanks.

"Stuck" images can be removed by exercising the LCD pixels to bleed off the residual capacitive charge. This can most easily be accomplished by using a random pattern screen saver that changes the screen image repeatedly. The time required to clear the stuck image can vary widely (minutes, hours, days) depending on the panel technology and the severity of the stuck image.

Note:
Turning the LCD monitor off for an extended period of time does not clear the image. The charge must be bled off by exercising the pixels with random images.

In other words. Avoid fixed patterns, Watch regular TV and hopefully it will go away.

The image should not be permanent. It just may take more time to go away. Leave it on white screen overnight.
