    Acer V173B Horizontal Line

    Hi people, would like your opinion on this. a friends 17in Acer V173b monitor as got a one pixel wide horizontal line going across the screen. It is right in the middle of the screen and is present all the time with or without a pc connected to it. For example if i unplug the monitor cable i still get the line across the screen whilst it's displaying the "No Input,Check Cable" message.

    My thought is a bad panel, i have had it apart to check the flat cable that goes to the panel pcb, tried reseating it, no luck. And have pressed on all the tab bonds hoping to find a place that would clear the line, again, no luck.

    Again, this is a very sharp line that looks to be only one pixel in width, would you agree that it's most probably a bad panel, or could something else cause the same issue?

    What do you think? Your thoughts would be welcomed. Cheers.

    My guess is one of the panel bonding tabs of the ribbon cable has gone bad. This tabs are not repairable.

        Thank you guys, i thought it looked like a bad panel, just not experienced enough to make that call myself and did not want to condemn the panel without thoughts from the people with the knowledge on here.

        Your input was greatly appreciated like always. Thanks you.

            by Ihandyrepair
            Hi guys

            I just started fixing 4k TV few months ago. so I am still learning a lot
            I got this tv from friend complaint is ghosting or horizontal lines on image.

            never saw the original symptom but I took the tv back home. the funny part is that after bringing to home, the tv worked fine no issue for 3 weeks.
            then it started to show the ghosting white image.
            I started using the tape method, but this tv does not have a T con board and it has only 1 ribbon cable from main board to the tv panel.
            it has 3 thin small boards at the bottom of the...

            Samsung UN50TU8000FXZC shows thin horizontal green line when warm
            by cubytus
            Hi to all,

            I was given this TV, an entry-level 4K 50" set. Some have criticized its lack of contrast and relatively poor colour rendering, but for my needs, it's very decent.

            I reset everything to factory settings, but this line keeps on fading in and out when watching a streaming channel from the Tizen firmware. Interestingly, it only happens when TV is warm, after about 1h45 of it being turned on.

            Watching a movie from an external source doesn't trigger the line as easily (needs 2 hours), and from a normal viewing distance, is hardly noticeable. It...
