Samsung UN55B6000 horizontal lines, bad panel?

[kevinm34232]

I wanted to get your opinions on whether you think this is a panel problem, that is my first thought when seeing it.. Looks like it would be a nice TV! Thanks!

Probably bad tab bonds. This is an LED TV.

I have the same issue. The tab bonds didn't change while messing with them so Iam assuming its a main board or tcon issue but main board @ $100+ tcon $70+ Is there firm ware for this that may fix this double image issue?

Given the extremely high failure rate of Samsung panels (relative to other manufacturers) I am inclined to say bad panel, even if the tabs don't affect it. I wouldn't risk a T-con or main, I can't see them causing it.

My hope was that it was good but was doubting it. I don't want to chase it with parts so selling these parts may recoup my cost of buying it. thanks for reminder of wasting on some of these this is the second one exact model, last one was easy to tell it was a tab bond issue.

I have a UN46B sitting here that does this and other random stuff even sometimes has a clear picture. Its a bad screen even with the tab bonds not doing anything or changing.

Samsung and Sony are notorious for these types of failures!

It's really only Samsung, as Sony used Samsung panels I call it a Samsung failure :-P
