I have a Samsung 50″ 1080p Plasma. I bought it the last week of December. Yesterday seven thin lines appeared about 15-16 inches from the left side of the screen. (they are Red-Yellow-Blue-Red-Yellow-Blue-Red). The lines are running vertically (top to bottom). All seven are within an inch and a half of one another. (first red to last red) The lines are very thin (less than a millimeter wide each) but very easily distinguishable from any picture on the screen and are present no matter which source you are viewing.

I just wanted some idea’s on what might have happened to cause this before I call about the warranty tomorrow. As far as I know the TV has not suffered any trauma (such as being hit or power surge).
It is not a burn-in.

I was wondering what would happen when the hdtv runs out of hrs of life? I read the difference between the lcd and plasma and they were saying 60,000 hrs and then the bulb would have to be replaced? How long do hdtv’s actully last??

Also it is really worth getting the extended warranty or protection plan when you buy it??

pursuitv asked:
I was told by a sales person that I could not take a plasma TV home safely by either lying it on the back of the package or on the front of the package. He said that we “could,” but it would shift the gases turning the screen green and at the same time void the warranty. I think it was because the man was lazy and it was about to be the end of his shift. Is there validity to his statement?
