Plasma TV problem, UPDATED
 

I Have a 42 inch Samsung plasma and have been getting a blue ash on the left side that is about 2 inches wide and is the full length of the left side. I only see it when the tv transitions from black to white. It is their if I switch to HD, DVD and comcast. What do you think it might be? I never let it on for a long period, I dont play video games and I never let it sit on a still images. If it is the TV I will be highly PO!

how long have you had it. we havent had our 42" samsung for that long and it needed a new bulb. ours is DLP though.

Almost six months old so I still have the factory warranty.

i started gettin that in all 4 corners of mine when i had it, i didnt know what it was so i just sold it before it got any worse and got a new tv, i must say though that ive heard nothing but good things about sumsungs tvs, that was what i got after the plasma...but i got a much bigger dlp this time

if you didnt buy a warranty, id do the same thing totheix's did, its only going to get worse. i doubt it will go away. plasmas are delicate, i dont like them for that reason only.

No way that is BS! I didnt spend 2K for a POS!

do you have large speakers next to the tv?

use the warranty and get new bulbs for it. we got ours under warranty. we might even get a few more before the warranty is up so that we have a stock of bulbs

I have Bose but they are over 3 feet away on each side and lower than the TV. If you are you thinkin magnets they aren't close enough but I can see where you are coming from. I am really looking to have some pin-point info on this when I call Samsung!

samsung has some really good answers on their website. check it out.

Thats more of a tube problem


This sounds like a bad panel call samsung nowwwwwwwww.

I don't have much more info than was already offered, but good luck clearing this **** up.

Well, I just put in a service request on Samsungs website and they are sending out a field service tech to repair in home. If this goes smooth I will have nothing to be PO at!

Ive had my plasma for a year, and about 3 months ago it started leaving a yellow line 4 inches from the right side all the way up and down the screen. WTF it pisses me off $2200

Moral of the story don't buy a samsung just my opinion.

Yeah thanks for your input

I am not trying to be an ass i have just heard alot of people having problems with them. Sorry if yuo took it as me being mean.

Its cool, I just heard Samsung and LG made good plasmas for the money. I guess now I will find out if they stand behind their product. Sometimes that is just as good as the actual product being sold:thumbup:

This is true well i hope it gets fixed let us all know how it goes.

Panasonic 50'' Plasma FTW, The family just got one for the family room. I have a Polaroid 42'' Plasma in my Bedroom and the difference is night and day between the two.
