Panasonic - Vertical Black Bar Problem - Blu-ray Forum

WyldeMan45 · 10-16-2008, 07:45 AM

Just wondering if anybody out there could tell me what would cause a vertical black bar to appear on my Panasonic Plasma 42" tv. It's located about 8 inches from the left of the screen and is approx. 1.5" inches wide running from the very bottom to the very top. It's there nearly everytime i turn my tv on and it'll usually stay 20 - 30 minutes before it disappears, but is than replaced by a faint yellow/orange colored stripe from the right side edge of that black stripe that proceeded it, only this stays the entire time the tv is on. I hoped it would go away but now everytime i watch tv, or movies i have this distracting line ruining everything i watch. Has anybody heard of this before?? I would appreciate any advice or troubleshooting tips.

I have a 50" panny plasma, and I just noticed a thin black line running horizontally along the bottom of the screen. Rather annoying since I haven't had the tv for a year yet. It was a xmas present from my parents last year. No idea, I've never seen anything like this.

Is it at the very bottom or not. Maybe you need to adjust the size of the screen. Go into your advanced picture settings, and change it from size 2 to 1. If that is already done, you may need to have it looked at.
