Samsung LN-T4665FX LCD firmware & pixel issues

[copjosh1977]

Does anyone know what the firmware upgrade is supposed to do for my LCD. As far as I can tell, it's the only one since I bought my tv back in March of this year. Their FW update came out 4-17-08, but as usual, they don't say what it does or fixes.

Also, I've started seeing light-bluish/green strips of vertical pixels about every half inch going across the whole screen periodically. It only does it sometimes, and when it does, I can usually turn off my tv for a few seconds, then turn it back on, and all is fine. Sometimes I have to repeat that a couple of times, but it never stays consistently.

At first I thought it was one of the HDMI connections, but I think I've ruled that out b/c it does it with my BD and my HD-DVD players; however, not with my cable box (also using HDMI). I haven't got a firm grasp on it yet, but I have a BB protection plan, so I think that will put me in the place I want to be if I have dead pixels. I just don't know where my paperwork is, since we've recently moved.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
