Re: Purple/Pink Lines / Postering on plasma LG 60PZ550

Just a followup. I followed the directions from tom66 closely. It worked beautifully! I couldn't be more pleased, my picture is back to looking crystal clear, no purple streaks or posterizing. Thank you so much tom66. I'm sure I saved a bunch of money. I'd love to send you a few bucks for a pint (or coffee if you'd prefer), let me know if you have a paypal account so I can send something for my appreciation. Thanks again!!!

Thank you tom66! I will attempt this over the weekend and will report back and let everyone know how it goes. Appreciate the assistance.

Do you happen to know to Shinju's question if there is a way to determine the number of hours of use of the plasma screen? Just curious, not a big deal if you don't. The other was much more important.

Ok, first, Shinju I'd love to find out how to get to the panel hour timer, not sure how to do that. Would be interesting to find out how many hours it took to get to this problem. Shortcut on the remote or combination of button presses? As far as tuning, the tv has always had a great picture, it was only just recently. Good suggestions.

tom66, I've attached a number of pictures, first the whole rear panel, then closeups of various sections. Thank you again for taking a look. Look forward to your next instructions....

Thanks! Will take the back off after work today (sometime after 2 pm PDT) and post asap. Appreciate your help.

Hi everyone. Love this forum. SO much information. I tried to look through the troubleshooting guide to figure out the correct procedure to fix my tv. I have an LG 60PZ550 Plasma tv, a few months shy of 3 years old. It does get used a lot. Over the last few weeks it starts to display a pinkish/purple horizontal stripe around the middle of the screen. This seems to be progressively getting worse. It is more evident during light scenes, especially if it is a white background. I also see from time to time posterizing, where faces on people seem particularly bad (although this is not as common). ...
