    44" Polaroid LCD TV burn in

    So I was out doing errands for the day and when I had come home the cable box was frozen with the tv guide up.(the time said 2:11 when it was actually 10pm)

    I couldn't turn the power off or change the channel so I just pulled the plug. When I turned it back on the tv guide was burned into the tv. This burn in is there on every input. When I plug the laptop up I can still see it. I tried running jfix for 20minutes and it did nothing.

    Any suggestions?

    Most of the time the burn in will go away after a few days of normal use unless its really burned in. Didnt think a modern LCD would be so easy to burn though
