Thanks: Gave 0, Got 0 | pixel burnout problem on my Toshiba?
I have a 27" Toshiba flat screen that is 2-3 years old. The last few weeks, I've had horizontal lines across the top of the screen, like 4-5 alternating lines of pixels are burnt out. Its there with any type of connection I make, and it doesn't matter if its my cable or or a dvd. sometimes its worse, sometimes it disappears, sometimes the left side is multi-colored.
anybody have any advice, or is it time for a new TV?

If CRT report back with the model no.

That model is not released/different to UK/Europe models.
You would be better off posting this at a USA-based forum www.avsforum.com
Good luck.

Your symptoms should be reported as "Retrace lines" if they are white in colour or "Frame Lines" if black.
