Samsung LCD TV - dark image and 'burnt' screen

Had my 37" Samsung LCD TV for 3 years now, its got a 5 year warranty with John Lewis, this morning turned it on and the whole image was really dark, so i played around with the menu options to try and brighten it up, once I'd got it best i could, exited and watched TV.

The menu screen was 'burnt' on the screen even while watching TV, any idea whats caused this? and is my TV coming to the end of its life? :(

    Perhaps a good time to call in your 5 year warranty.

    Did you find out what the problem was? I've got the same problem.

    Thanks
