Default television looking "washed out" in spots

Now, after being on for about 3-5 minutes, you can see two distinct

tho. Then, as time goes by, they go away. Then, of course, they fade
back in. Kinda distracting and unacceptable for a new TV. The best


Wondering if it's a simple matter of adjusting refresh or resolution
(trying all of that now) or I should buy another video card. I
wouldn't think it's a driver issue but you never know.


I dont see how refresh or resolution could possibly affect it. But what
the cause is I simply dont know. You might try swapping in another vid
card (using a different driver) to see if it stops or continues.
