Turn it off and leave for a bit. Should disappear eventually. As long as its not cracked

Sounds to me as though a new screen is required I'm afraid. :'(

if you feel up to it if get the screen out it and get the part number of the back of it.  you might get lucky and find one on the bay really cheap

Is it the backlighting you've damaged, or the TFT panel?

TBH, whatever it is, its probably not worth repairing if its more than a couple of years old, due to panel costs.

just get the back off the tv and see if there is a part number on the back of the lcd on a white sticker.

"pauls", after that amount of time your screen obviously isn't going to cure itself and a new one would be prohibitive in cost, but may I suggest an ebay trader - "cheapasbits" - who seems to have a good stock at reasonable prices?
