The problem
Try this!
The TV is hot.
Watching TV for an extended period of time causes the panel to generate heat.
The heat from the panel is dissipated through internal vents running along the
top of the TV. The bottom, however, may feel hot to the touch after extended
use. Children watching TV need constant adult supervision to prevent them
from touching the TV. This heat, however, is not a defect and does not affect
the TV's functionality.
The picture won’t display in
full screen.
HD channels will have black bars on either side of the screen when displaying
upscaled SD (4:3) content.
Black bars will appear at the top and bottom of the screen when you watch
movies that have aspect ratios different from your TV.
Adjust the picture size options on your external device or set the TV to full
screen.
The "Mode Not Supported"
message appears.
The output resolution of the attached device is not supported by the TV.
Check the TV's supported resolutions and adjust the external device’s output
resolution accordingly.
The Subtitles item in the TV
menu is greyed out.
When an external device is connected with an HDMI or Component cable, the

This smell is normal and will dissipate over time.

There is an intermittent loss
of audio or video.
Check the cable connections and reconnect them.
Loss of audio or video can be caused by using overly rigid or thick cables.
Make sure the cables are flexible enough for long term use. If you are
mounting the TV to a wall, we recommend using cables with 90-degree
connectors.
