Dark Picture
From time to time when turning on my Vizio VO370M TV (purchased in September 2009) the picture is very dark; you can see the images but it's dark. One the TV is turned "OFF" and then "ON" again the picture becomes lighter; more of what you would expect during normal viewing.
Any ideas as to what may cause this, why this happens, solutions?
Thanks
