However, it has been developing this weird line around the edge of the screen over that last few years, it started way out at the edge and has been creeping slowly inward. It's mostly on the top and right side, a little on the left and none at the bottom...

I wonder if your Samsung has the same manufacturer of LCD panel as my old Sony? About the same vintage. "S-LCD" was the joint effort with Sony and Samsung to produce LCD panels. My high hour Sony has one in it. I can see the tag on the back of the panel through the cabinet grill. Now, on a dark screen and looking a little off axis especially, I can see some odd shading about 1" all the way around the edge of the screen. Not a distinct line like yours though. I don't see this on normal video and looking at it from a normal viewing angle.
