Do you turn your TV off properly each night or do you just leave it on standby all the time? It's usually necessary to turn off TV properly on a regular basis so that it will degauss when it is then turned on. This might just be a degaussing issue.

i turn it off fully every night, in the morning when i turn it back on thats when i get the problem, if i then put it on standby and then back on again everything is fine.
