White lines in screen When there is dark or bright changes white lines can be seen running from bottom to top (like scan lines??) and is very annoying. What can i do to fix it or is part of the tv?

This tv seems to be susceptible to electrical noise or so. i fixed it with a 3-prong adapter like this one http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pRS1C-2266744w345.jpg I installed in the tv electrical cable and now i don't see the pesky lines.

I returned one of these camera because of a similar problem. I noticed a white flickering dot during playback. I observed while filming and the dot was present on the LCD screen. I got a second one and the dot wasnt there at first. It came back on the second camera but in a different place. I'm baffled and wish i could find more info on this issue. If anyone has more info on this, let me know!

Depending on what model Sony you have it may be your television . Some models have a known issue and there is a class action suit against Sony . I had the problem you are describing some years ago . it was fixed under warranty. Sony also extended the warranty of the affected models . Do a search of your model number and see what comes up .

A line down the middle of the screen? You should contact the manufacturer and ask for either a refund or exchange.

I have not seen that happening on my tv, does it happens while watching different video sources, (BD, Video Games, regular t.v cable or satellite) or only in one of these? if it happens no matter the video source it may be the t.v. if its only on specific ones you could try to change cable connections or the problem could be on the video source.

@Dj M: It sounds like you either have dead or "hot" pixels. This means the pixel will by change colors or remain "black" or "white". While the TV may function normally, the damaged pixel will not function correctly ever. I would contact Amazon.com and get an exchange or refund on the unit as it arrived damaged (you have 30 days to get a full refund).

I do not have the original purchased TV. In 2009 a white line appeared across the width of the screen. It could not be fixed. Samsung replaced the TV but since it was out of warranty I had to pay $300 for new one. The second one, same model has been fine.

Sounds like change input on monitor or TV, might have a bad flash on SD card, or bad cable going to TV...without seeing it first had tough to know for sure , do trial and error , you will find the problem....

You have a part going out on it, I had the exact same problem and it was more to get it fixed than it was to buy a new tv. I don't remember what the part was but it was expensive. Mine started doing that right after the warranty ended, and they won't fix it for free. Good luck with it. And I would stay away from their products in the future

Oh man... My Samsung 5271 purchased Xmas 2007 has just starting doing this too. I turn it on, and the bottom 3/4 of the screen is distorted and unwatchable. It seems to clear up within a few minutes, and only rarely does it after "warming up". But I'm quite frustrated to have an relatively new, yet out-of-warranty TV that is malfunctioning.At this point I am just going to live with it... since I did not purchase with AmEx to get the extended warranty. But I am worried that the problem will get worse, as some of you have posted.Can anyone who gets this problem fixed, please post on the actual cause and remedy, and the amount paid to fix?Thanks in advance!

Yes, I have had my set for less than 2 months and it now has a vertical line top to bottom that varies in color. Have talked to samsung and are sending a local repair person out next week. Very disappointed for the price paid. To have problems this soon concerns me about this TV in the future.

My TV screen has colorful strips showing on the right side. I was told it is cheaper to buy another TV than to fix it. My TV was bought in mid 2005 and we haven't watched it that much.

I can't answer David's question, but I have one of my own. From day one I have never had a clear picture. There are lines moving through the screen all the time. The darker the back ground the worse the lines are. Thanks

Yes, but all of these portable scanners I've tried suffer from white lines in the scan.

Color problems with TV's that I've seen are typically caused by a problem with the LCD screen or it's controller. Usually when the bulb is bad it just dimms or fails to light up at all.

No I have not seen that issue even up close. I have although done some messing around with the picture settings and by no means am I an expert. I would try some different settings or return it for a new one because of the price we have all had to pay for it. It could have even been damaged during shipping or not have set long enough before it was turned on the first time. I have the exact tv and the blacks are deep blacks and the whites are true as well as grey and all other colors. I let mine sit for eight hours after it was mounted on the tv stand before I turned it on for the first time.

We've been experiencing it off and on for about 6 months. Two nights ago, it was really bad...today...its not there. It comes and goes. In our case its a blue stripe. We've seen it whether its coming from the cable box or bluray player. I haven't played with it too much, so I don't have a pattern of what it does and how to defeat it. I'd like a comment from Panasonic. Our TV was 5 years old at Christmas.
