we have recently purchased a samsung 42" lcd tv. it has an intermittent problem. when the screen is black, we have a 2" fuzzy line vertically down the screen, sometimes its 1 line, sometimes 2 and in different positions :( we have replaced the scart leads to the sky box and dvd player with gold plate ones, but it still sometimes happens. does anybody know iwhat is causing the problem, and whether i can rectify it myself? many thanks :)

I've had the same problem with my Samsung 32" purchased from Dixons. The problem occurred after thirty days from date of purchase and Dixons refused to change the TV and referred me to Samsung. Samsung replaced the LCD screen at the first attempt to repair, but the problem still persists. They have had it back twice since replacing the LCD screen and say they cannot find anything wrong with it and refuse to replace it. They just say it is my Sky box, but I have tried other TV's with my Sky box and everything is ok, so I'm having to live with it. Everyone that sees it asks what is wrong with the TV. No one seems to have an answer.

that happened to me with my 32" sony bravia lcd tv from commet and they couldn't fix it either! luckily I still had the warranty so they replaced it. I think it would cost to much to fix the lcd panel and thats why commet just replaced it instead.
