Re: Samsung LE40M86BD LCD display issue - Streaks on screen...



Hi Paul. Thanks for your reply. The streaks are in the same place all the time. No obvious damage to the screen (and this model has a tough shiny cover over the panel anyway (almost like a plasma). And the pixels seem to show some detail - just totally the wrong colour!...

Thanks for the reply Tom
I guess I had feared the worst! In fairness, it is watchable as it is, but would have been nice if there was an easy(ish) solution! Can one change the panel? I guess that even if this was possible, you'd be in the realms of getting a new TV anyway!?

Hey guys
I have this Samsung 40" LCD TV, which is about 7 years old now. It has a strange problem, in that there are two streaks on the screen, in the lower-right corner.
I say streaks, because they're not lines - not line lines/rows of dodgy pixels like you often see. These are less uniform in appearance. And they're not dead pixels, but rows of discoloured ones. They can't be seen when the TV is off, but appear when powered-up with blank screen, or when a picture is displayed they mostly look blue, but occasionally look a different colour depending on what the image is....

Hey guys. I'd just like to introduce myself. I am an IT engineer from the UK - interested in all electronics and AV.
I found this forum while googling LCD display problems and it looks like an awesome place to hang out! Look forward to speaking with you all in coming weeks!
