After five months of adapting to our RCA F38310, we've been able to fix (or learn to live with) all of its perverse "features" except for one... ghosting.
There is discernible horizontal ringing uniformly present for all input sources.
It is mostly non obtrusive but can be clearly observed as faint ghosting to the right of vertical bars in AVIA test patterns, and in other abrupt dark to light horizontal transitions, such as in viewing telephone poles or vertical window frames against a bright background.
Neither adjusting sharpness nor disabling SVM (by pulling the connector inside the set per DrJoe's excellent instructions) will completely cure this image defect.
Our SVM is off and our sharpness is at zero but we still see these faint ghosts under the right circumstances.
Have other F38310 users noticed this subtle effect, and has anyone figured out how to cure it, please?
Thanks!

ps: Thompson techs in Indianapolis say "yeah, there's ringing, but it's a TV not a computer monitor... so you can't expect perfection"
