My LT46144 screen has horizontal lines. Some of them go away after the set is on for awhile but there are two that are always there. Pencil thin but a nuisance anyway. Any way to fix this?

1. Check to see if there is any type of damage to the screen, such as a scratch or crack.
2. Try adjusting the picture settings on the TV, such as brightness and contrast.
3. Check the connections between the TV and the external devices it is connected to, such as a DVD player or cable box.
4. Try unplugging the TV for a few minutes, then plugging it back in to see if the lines go away.
5. If none of the above steps work, it may be necessary to contact the manufacturer for a repair or replacement.

Hi my LG 47ln5700 tv set has thin greyish black horizontal lineson one side of the .... I hope this works good with Samsung LCD as well....
If the thin line is always there, you have a set of pixels burned out. This usually occures vertically. There is easy fix, except to replace the screen. If the laptop is under warrenty, contact the manufacture for repair options.
Hi, I saw your tv pictures at above mentioned website link. It is LCD Panel (screen) problem, call Sony and ask for warranty cover to replace lcd panel. Thanks.
Answer ONE: Yes, the speaker mounted close/near to the set
can be a cause of mischief; please move it further away and see if that
helps clear up the problem. But, you must keep it away for several
days before you will know for sure because it takes some time to
degauss all the internal parts that may have become corrupted by the
magnets in the speaker.
TWO: Yes, any set can be repaired the question is cost and wisdom.
Old sets are sometimes not worthy of the repair simply because of the
likelyhood that another failure will follow soon after. A big screen
always invokes a repair charge of $200 and up. After a few of these you
will wish you had put all the money into a new set!
THREE: The lines are most likely a problem in the vertical blanking
circuits of the set. These are horizontal retrace lines that are
supposed to be blanked out during vertical retrace of the raster.
Think of it as a paintbrush that scans across the screen painting thin
lines and when you get to the bottom of the screen it goes quickly back
to the top, but during that time the horizontal, which is many times
faster, has made several sweeps; so it must be blanked out during the
retrace. The repair involves finding the guilty parts and replacing
them. Usually this repair runs over the $200 somewhat.
FOUR: Prior to calling in a service tech try a hard reset to see if
that will recover any of the circuit degradations. Merely unplug the
power cord and leave unplugged for 4 hours or more. It may help. Or,
it may not help; but worth a try since is won't cost you anything.
If the set is over 5 or 6 years of age it probably is not a condidate
for any expensive repair. On the other hand, it is a Toshiba - and
they make a fine set.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further thoughts.
THI IS THE INTERNAL CIRCUTRY FAULT BEST YOU
call the service person and dont try to open it other than in side of TV SET HAVING Hazard of electrical shock be handle most care fully .
and check video board and all.
Ive got bad news for you, about 90% of the time black horizontal lines are caused by the panel failing, your going to need a new TV. You can try replacing the timing board but the chances of it fixing it are slim..
I would suspect a connection breaking down as the set heats up. A shop will probably have to put the set in a stand to hold it while they check for loose connections or defective components inside. Not a DIY job by any means. If this line went completely through the picture either vertically or horizontally and stayed there then this would have indicated a failure in the Panel itself. A thin Line any where on the screen consisting of one pixel in width is a Panel Failure according to Hitachi.
