    The OP said he can still see the tv guide.
    Its screen burn from leaving the tv guide on screen for soo long.

    Fair do, I misread it as he can only just see the screen guide because of the ghosting.

    Don't know how accurate this is, but apparently you can cure screen burn by leaving the TV showing "snow" (i.e. with no signal) for a few hours.
    Might be worth a shot?

    Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.

    You can get crosstalk in cheap scart cables. Disconnect everything and reconnect piece at a time to see when you get the problem. Possibly swapping the scarts around may eliminate it if the problem only occurs with one unit and you match that up with a decent cable.

    Agreed

    Im not agreeing with whoever mentioned screenburn though (Its an LCD, and youd have to leave it on for days/weeks on a static screen to affect an LCD)

    There's no sense crying over every mistake.
    You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
