My dad prefers to watch his sony hdtv in the old 4:3 ration. When I come over to watch the tv, I prefer the widescreen view. Because he always has the tv in 4:3 ratio, the lines are burned into the tv when I flip to the widescreen setting. There are visible lines where the 4:3 viewing ends and the widescreen begins. Is there a way to fix this?

Does this mean your Dad watches widescreen programs squashed up within a 4:3 frame or do you expand 4:3 material out to 16:9 thereby altering the aspect ratio and making everything fat? I can't quite get my head around what is going on?

It means he watches sd programs which don't fill the screen,they have black borders all the time.

So Dad watches 4:3 material in the correct aspect ratio - so I am wondering if the son watches 4:3 squished out to eliminate the black bars that should be there on 4:3 material.

All common forms of Tv CAN experience static image burn-in, even LCD-based. They, at least, shouldn't be permanent. You can fix or improve the screen using one of 3 image types:
1. Inverse image (in this case, inverse pillarbars) - burns the REMAINDER of the screen
2. All white image - reburns ALL of the screen equally
3. A random image (aka "snow" or "off-air static") - EXERCISES dynamically all parts of the screen
How long is necessary? Depends, but could be anywhere between 2 - 10 hours on average. YMMV.

K, I will give that a shot. And to answer the other questions. My dad views every channel in 4:3 which results in lines where it cuts off when you watch it in 16:9. He watches everything that way which has lead to the burn in lines. Most tvs give you the option of what ratio you can watch it. I obviously prefer the 16:9 because what is the use of a widescreen tv if you watch it at 4:3
