Nothing to do with vegas, but there are some electronics gurus who visit this site that know way more than the mfg service hotline.
37" hd lcd tv has develped a smear about 8 inches long on the right side of the screen, looks as if someone put paint on their finger and ran it down the screen. Put solid red, green , blue, white , and black on the vegas timeline and played through the monitor and all is perfect, ? seems it appears on just "blended" colors,, any ideas, a search just gives me others scratching their heads .

I've seen much the same as what you describe in LCD screens on cameras. Our best guess is a serious bump or too much heat has caused the liquid in the LCD to leak. The only way it gets fixed is a new panel, sorry to say.
