basically if i turn it off for a long enough time to cool down, whenever I turn it on, it starts really dark and flickering.
the 1st day it took like 15 minutes to come all the way on
the 2nd day, an hour
these days, it takes 1-2 days to stop flickering and go from about 25% brightness to full brightness.

think a tv repair place can fix it?
