Will be on the lookout for thetvacting up again and if it is, I'll

Thanks again for the help!

I bought the same TV around the same time and my problems sound
similar. After the TV is on for a while (30 minutes), the screen
starts to flicker. This gets worse over a few minutes until the whole
screen eventually turns a flickering shade of blue. After turning it
off and waiting a half hour or so, the tv is watchable again, for a
while. No warranty means I'm out of luck too. This tv is to cheap to
fix at a repair center.

Because it never happened from the start, that it is wall mounted
pretty high up on my wall, and that I heard somwhere that it may have
to do with an overheating problem, I tried to cool it down with a fan
from the moment I turned it on. I noticed a clear decrease of
"garbled blue screen" incidents. The TV would have to be on for many
hours for it to happen again. I am trying to replace the ugly and
noisy rig I am currently using (old bathroom fan blowing from below
the tv towards it) with a home built array of quiet PC fans that I
plan to place on the vents above the TV to pull the heat out. Wish me
luck. I'll reply with my findings.
