SOURCE: LCD picture distortion.
This is caused by a failure of the main board. The failure causes the refresh rate of the unit to be off creating a trailing or ghost effect. This will require a technician to replace that board though. Hope this help.

It sounds like you have a defective LCD panel. This is more common with the plasma TVs. Are you sure it's an LCD?

There is a part inside
the TV that needs to be replaced. If the TV is under warranty—whether
the original warranty from the manufacture or an extended warranty
purchased with the TV—call the company providing the warranty
coverage and they will arrange to have your TV repaired at little, or
no cost to you.
Since some brands will
pay for your repair even if you're out of warranty, especially if
they've heard of your problem before and it's a known issue. You
should always contact the manufacture first for your full range of
options. If they're willing to fix the TV for free, or at a reduced
cost to you, let them!
If the TV is out of
warranty, and you have the experience and you know what you're doing,
you can fix the TV yourself. Purchase the service manual from the
manufacture to get started. However, if you've never done anything
like this type of repair before and you don't know where to start, I
suggest speaking with an experienced TV repair-person.
If you decide to pay for
out of warranty repair by a professional repair shop, the total cost
will likely be a minimum of $200 parts and labor. However, be warned
that the cost could be considerably higher.
