Hi,

This is my first post in this forum, I've been given a LG Plasma,

model.: RT-42PZ60

It has a black strip that runs down the screen, from top to about half way down, its about an inch wide. If it was permenatly there i would think its not worth looking into, but it comes and goes ?
I have a picture of the issue if that would help.
Has anyone ever seen this before ?

I use to see this everyday on LG screens when working in AV, i consider it an LG thing and thats why i would never buy an LG screen.

We would send them back to LG for repair which usually took them months then 6 months later they would fail again. We replaced nearly every LG screen we installed after about a year and they all seemed to fail with a 3-6 month period of each other.

my mrs dads one has this, its started with one from top to bottom on the left then over a week it got more, the other day it was like watching tv through prison bars!

theyre now using the old trusty 32" crt

So to get it fixed I'd have to send it to LG ?
or...
Is there something I can do to fix it ?

other companies will do it (we have one being repaired by a birmingham company at present via john lewis warranty, hopefully they just write it off)

and we had a quote for another one (same model as the other one being repaired) by a local company which they though said would be around £250.

in my oppinion not cost effective, and thats on my model which is quite a bit newer than the one your running.
