Lg50ps30fd

[maxvalutech]

This set is 2009 model with a good picture etc apart from a few very thin vertical lines generally on LHS when viewing. Normally I would say bad screen but owner advises that 2 !!! new panels were fitted while it was under extended warranty but lines persisted. He also advises that they move around specially when first switched on. I have watched sports on the set and the lines are very faint. Will be getting it off him in a day or so to look into it and will post pics then. Meanwhile, any ideas perhaps logic or cabling? No info on model herein by searching.

Re: Lg50ps30fd

Just a bit more history. Lines showed up at about 4 year old and bad panel was diagnosed - new panel fitted according to invoice - lines still in evidence and bad words exchanged - another new panel said to be fitted, further harsh words because problem still evident - brand new 50" Panasonic Smart TV given to client as replacement but old set also left - customer who is now my neighbour keeps new set in carton for 3 years and continues watching old one!! He has only now set up the new one. Question is I suppose were LG plasma panels having a bad run back then?

IFinally we lugged this set over to my workbench - had to wait a few days as just too hot around 40C recent heatwave (52C in shearing shed at my rellies place out west). Have now had a good look and ran a couple of quick tests and now no doubt this is an unfixable panel problem - five very fine vertical lines left side from front - do seem to come and go but that is due to colour changes in pictures. Lines hard to photograph but can be seen in bald spot of person shown.
