T-con or bad panel... quite likely to be T-con. (Budm will be able to tell us for sure.)

Do post pictures of the insides when you get it. (It will be interesting to see how well built Samsung LED sets are.)

Does the amount of lines and faded part of the screen get worst as it stays on longer? This kind of symptom I will try cleaning (I use DETOXIT D5) and re-seating the ribbon cables between the LCD panel and the T-CON first. I am working on one with similar problem but I do not have a chance to take it apart yet.

budm, how do you use that cleaner? You spray and let it dry for a while?
Do you spray the flex cable and the connector as well? I have ordered one from Amazon.

Was watching some old movie on it and when screen goes dark all looks good except for tiny vertical lines, but if a color comes in a lines drops vertically almost that color (see pics)

You set it to the lowest pressure setting and just spray into the cable receptacle, not on the cable, you use very very small amount of it, no need to wipe or dry, then just slip the ribbon cable back in place. Try spraying on a small piece of paper so you will know how much it's coming out from the spray tube. When you spray, you will see it start spreading by itself.

I have the same TV set and I'm having the same problem. My warranty is also expired by a few months. How did you convince Samsung to do a 1 time repair?

I started by telling the first 2 operators that I needed their supervisors and that NO was an unacceptable answer,then got to excutive supervisor and told her I paid 1700 for a tv that breaks in 2 years, is UNACCEPTABLE Then told them my wife got mad at me when I paid 1800 for the tv and she was finally getting over it and the tv breaks down and gonna cost me money again so samsung is gonna break up my marriage , also told them I have numerous friends with samsungs ,that had their tvs fixed under the class action suit they had, and thery just agreed "Perserverence" Good luck

You will have to let us know what they do or change to get it up and running.

Re: Samsung 46" LED TV UN46B6000VFXZA

I think the LCD panel has failed. Do the lines move with the image? Did the problem develop immediately or slowly?

Re: Samsung 46" LED TV UN46B6000VFXZA

What's the theory on panel failure versus T-con regarding lines moving with image?

[tom66]

Re: Samsung 46" LED TV UN46B6000VFXZA

T-con can drive panel incorrectly causing lines to move with parts of the image.

Panel cannot typically fail in such a way.
