Display ghosting and occasional flickering

[schinks]

In the past couple of weeks my display started showing ghosting on the screen.  What I mean is that if I have a window open and not maximized, the screen above the window is faded from the top of the window to the top of the display.  See the attached picture for an example.  Odd thing here is that when I did a screen capture, the issue didn't appear in the capture, I had to take a picture of the screen to show it.  Can't wrap my brain around that one.  The lighter line in the picture below appears to be the ghost of a browser window ( do burn ins still happen?).

This happens on the BIOS screen as well which I fear indicates a hardware problem (figures since my warranty just ended a few weeks ago, coincidence?).  Can anyone confirm this is in fact hardware and if so, is there anything I can do about it that doesn't cost as much as a new laptop?   I'm really bummed because this system is only 2 years old.
