Mine developed a vertical line at the exact middle of screen. How do I find out how to fix this? Is my TV going to quit?

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.

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.

My tv was just picked up! Called Samsung and got the same response they gave you - a repairman would come out and if it couldn't be fixed it would have to be sent away for service. As you, I did not think I needed to have a brand new tv sent out for repair and decided to return it. I am now watching my old 19" set (gave my 26" away when I got the Samsung!). Have you had any luck yet? I am considering Toshiba.

Well this happened to me after about a year. It helps if you use it often. When it does it all you have to do is give the tv a light smack on the back and it usually fixes it for me

Mine got a vertical and horizontal lines at the center of the display and I suspected that the damage is from shipping since Amazon did not double box it. Anyways, just get onto your amazon account and ask for replacement then amazon will ship you a new one. My replacement is double boxed and came in within two days.

Can't answer your specific questions, but I can tell you that mine developed a vertical line on the screen within 6 months. The cost to ship the TV to the manufacturer was almost the same price that I paid for the TV. Bottom line...I would never buy this brand of TV again.

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.

I had the same problem the TV started to flicker and the screen had vertical rainbow colored screen. Called support and they told me it was out of warranty and the TV never has this problem. After googling it it appears this is a problem with Samsung TV's. I bought a Sony instead. Threw the Samsung in the trash. Customer service was awful and they lied ever knowing about this problem. But once you google it it is a common consistent problem.

Possibly defective. Had the same problem. I contacted the seller and got a replacement which seems to work fine. It could also be a problem with your TV interfacing with the adapter. My experience is that my old 46" Samsung TV will have issues during playback vs. a newer 32" Sony TV where it works well.

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

Yes, I am having the same issue with my same model television. Mine was purchased the end of 2/08, it started doing that about a month ago and it is out of warranty. Have you had your repaired? If so, what was the cost? wants $150 just to come out and diagnose the problem.

@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).

Vickie, In the end I was not able to resolve the issue. I had 2 technicians out to try to fix it, but they weren't able to. Sharp is sending me a new TV (which is being delivered tomorrow afternoon). I'll let you know if it works any better.

Mine did the same thing before it quit turning on completely. There's a part inside that is failing, and unless you are still under warranty it will cost more to fix it than it will to buy a new one. I ended up having to buy a new, different tv. I wish you luck but unfortunately you are probably going to need to purchase a new tv.

I didn't have that problem, but I did have a problem with the pixels on the left side of the screen. Had a vertical line that ran from top to bottom. It happened after 10 months, so it was still under warranty. Sorry I know that answer doesn't help you.
