Plasma Displays General Lines Question

[Michale32086]

I have a general question about horizontal lines in plasma TVs..

Assuming that the Buffer Boards are good and assuming that the X/Z-SUS is good, would these lines be a display panel issue and, therefore, un-repairable??

I have 2 Plasma TVs with this problem and I just want to know if I should cut my losses or if it could be a Control Board or Main Board issue...

Thanx...

Is this a 'C' series Samsung plasma? This looks like a notorious failure of a Samsung PN50Cxxxxx panel. So common in fact, that it's hard to even sell parts for that panel series because they've all failed.

One of them IS a PN50C... The other one, the one that the pic was from is a PN51D....

So, it's a pretty safe guess that it's a panel issue??
