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 Captions item in the
TV menu is grayed out.
You cannot select the
Caption
menu if you have selected a source connected to
the TV via HDMI or Component. To view captions, turn on the external device's
caption function.

This smell is normal and will dissipate over time.
