Horizontal scrolling lines (moving from bottom to top???? Just got my first LCD HD (the Samsung LNT4671) ... While I like it in general, I'm still trying to figure out best settings, etc. One thing that is a major worry is that on all the channels I have a faint white line that is moving from bottom to the top, sort of like the old days of TV when the reception or the tuner was messed up. I have a direct cable connection into the TV and not other electronics in the vicinity. I don't have an HD signal yet and I assumed that non-HD channels may not look as nice as the old CRT TVs, but I wasn't expecting this! Any ideas or similar issues???? Thx.

I just had this problem and found this post after searching for a solution. I plugged my coaxial cable into my surge protector and bingo, problem solved. I am using component cables to connect my cable box to my HDTV. I think I'll exchange my box for an HDMI capable box and hopefully that'll solve my problem without using the surge protector.

I have experienced the same thing with my new Samsung LN52B630 TV. Do you guys think it's a TV problem or cable signal problem?

That's the first thing I noticed as well when I got my TV. However, I'm not sure what happened, but it disappeared after a few days.

you probably have component cables hooking it up from your cable box. Just get a $10 HDMI cable and problem solved. The component cable signal is too close to the amplifier on the TV. That signal is much slower than HDMI causing distortion in your picture. HDMI cable will work trust me. I had same problem

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.

Hi Michael...I'm over here in Saudi Arabia. I have a 3 year old 50" widescreen Samsung LCD with DVI input (through the component in it will play 720p and 1080i). You seem to be very knowledgable and my question to you is....If I buy the Toshiba HD and get the HDMI to DVI adapter do you think I will be able to watch HD on this TV????.....Anyone??? I do have a Samsung 32" widescreen HDTV ready in the bedroom so I will be able to use it there if it doesn't work on the other one downstairs.

There is no way that I know. When I installed mine, my cables were not fully seated and I saw a similar color issue. It is possible that one of your component or HDMI cables is not completely connected to the box or the TV/Devices. Check that your cables are firm and in the correct ports. If they are, you may try testing with another cable. Once my cables were set, my picture was perfect and I have had no problems with the box.

I have ToC on my 46" Samsung, and it isn't unless you stand right next to it. Or the light hits the TV in the right way. Yeah, it's there, but it's by far NOT the predominant color you see.

I had same problem 3 times during first year with vertical lines and tv constantly reboot. If you have same issues this means your tv broke and need to be fixed. Register tv with samsung and schedule the technicians for repair. If it was sold by amazon you have warranty if not you may not have it. If you tv more than 50 inches tech will fix it at your home. Good luck

Hi...Sorry, the site can be kind of hard to negotiate.On the left hand side of the screen is the "Navigation Menu"Choose "Display Devices"Then choose "Rear Projection Units"About the 7th unit down is the forum for "2007 Samsung LED Owners Thread"Settle in with a BIG cup of coffee. You've got about 5 hours of reading ahead of you. Don't get too scared re all the threads regarding the "blue halo" problem. It appears that this was corrected with the HLTxx87SAX version, (versus the HLTxx87s)

Kevin, I am not answering your question but I am confirming that I have the same problem with Samsung I just purchased 3 days ago. It is a complete mirror in my family room. People say plasma or lcd/led has better picture quality, but if all you can see is the reflection of the room or trees and clouds in the sky reflecting from your window, then I would say that would be a very very poor quality picture. And shouldn't you be able to enjoy your TV and look outside your window at the same time? You shouldn't have to make your room like a cave to see your TV. We love our big windows and well-lit room. Never had this problem with our previous DLP. Sorry, just venting. I'm going in the store today to look at the Mitsubishi DLP's.

If you have dish there is a button on the remote that says format it gives you a couple options choose normal.Sometimes if the channel is a HD channel it automaticly has the black lines on the side there is nothing you can do for that as far as I know. I would call LG about the picture problem. I have not had any problem with the picture its great.

I just want to know if their is any pixelization during sports. I have a 52 inch samsung lcd 60htz and it get choppy during fast action, does this tv do it too? or does the 600 htz take that problem away?

Tom,Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem.R Tom,Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma.

I'm having the same type of noise problem with a 26" Samsung. It was like that straight out of the box. The backlight was set on 10 (in the Dynamic picture mode) I have to keep the backlight setting at 5 or below and then it's masked by the TV volume. On mute I can still hear it. Very annoying. I'll be contacting Samsung very soon.

I am also experiencing the "green lines" in 1080p. It looks good in 1080i. I called Philips support and the rep was trying to convince me that my Samsung LN40A550 LCD was not 1080p and I should call Samsung to see why I am seeing green lines. I was also very surprised when they said nobody has ever reported this issue. He had me upload the latest firmware but my unit already had the latest. I tried anyways and it didn't do anything.Anybody solved this problem yet?

Mine flickered SO badly, I had to replace it. I do NOT recommend this monitor. Samsung was NO HELP whatsoever. It's very likely the last Samsung (anything) I ever buy. It's too bad, I used to like Samsung products before this fiasco.

Ello Peter ... there's a toggle switch on the front of the monitor ... which honestly I've never used, as I've only ever had one device with it. I've either had my PC plugged into the DVI port - or - now - currently - I'm using it as a short term solution till I figure out which tv I'm going to purchase next. Thanks.

I am usuing a dlp HDTV with the component cables. I had to manually lower the screen resolution in the android settings to get it working smoothly. I hope to get my HDMI port working soon however on my TV.

Hi. I just bought one of these myself and have a 40 inch Samsung HD- LCD tv and I have noticed this same thing and it will look like this on some DVD's. I put the player on "Dynamic 2" setting under "adjusting the playback picture" found on page 33 of the manual and it makes the picture a little better. Try that out and I hope it helps! Jay
