Panny 50ST50 problem

[tommyboy81]

Noticed a little while ago on my screen there's this very red line going down my screen. Now I thought it might be comcast, so I turned on my BR player and still see it.

The panel is bad. If you have a warranty for it, get it replaced. If you don't, get the ST60 and get a warranty with it.

Panasonic is sending someone to repair it. But if it cant be repaired then what? Kind of hard for them to get me another ST50

a better look at it.

They're going to replace the panel with a brand new one (not a new tv mind you). You don't have to worry about getting another set. I feel everything will work out for you in the end. Good luck

I had a issue with my old Samsung LCD years ago with image retention (it would get it after a few seconds) and they replaced the panel with a new one.

would I have to break it in again?

guess not if its just the panel.

I'm no expert on this, but I did mine. I think ( not sure) that the panel is what needs to be broke in the most.
