    A very common problem with LCD TVs is that the backlight can malfunction, either because the lamp (fluorescent, usually) is burned out, or the inverter that powers it is malfunctioning or burned out.

    Unfortunately, this isn't something you can repair yourself, and you need to take it into a shop to get it fixed. If it's under warranty still, it should be fixed for free.

    They should last longer than 18months. I've had an LCD TV for about 4 years.. so far I've had no problems. (crossing my fingers!)
