I saw this fault on another TV : This is usually Electrolytic capacitors within the power supply. If you see any in the power supply that appear to be bulged. They need to be replaced
Isto é um problema de fabricação...terá que trocar o painel LCD ...acontece algo parecido com a minha...esta marca é uma merda...não comprem nada mais da samsung...aqui no Brasil já estamos aderindo a esta causa...wdiassp@yahoo.com.br
10s of thousands of people are having this same problem. They are still using the same parts in their tvs. Samsung employs some of the dummest engineering, customer service, and management in the market. A WORD TO ANYONE OUT THERE, NEVER BUY THEIR TELEVISIONS, THEY WILL BREAK. If you own one now its going to break, you will see!
@bgreen999 UR 100% right. I want a HDTV but I'm scared 2death to get 1 BC B4 the whole 15yr life span is up it's gonna do sumthin' stupid! I have and HD projector not exempt but ur hear of less probs w/ them. I'm gonna pull the trigger on the VIzio LCD LED 55" VF552XVT when the COMES OUT btwn JAN-Mar 2010. Costco gives xt-1yr warranty on top of Manufac Warr & vizio 3yr warranty 5yrs all 2gether. Hope fully work out any bugs in that time. I C so many new HDTV probs all brands. THis is sickening!
Mine shows lines like that across the top of the screen from day 1. I got a replacment part installed by and engineer and after 6 months it came back. Since then I have been using it as a monitor for my mac and that is fine. Just the terrestrial DTV that shows the lines.
either the bios went off or the cable is faulty or you have electro magnetical disturbances nearby or you have problems with the power cord or anything related with it.
i had the same problem, how i fixed it? well best buy said it was a cable or video problem, so i buy brand new 100$ cables no fix.. then i went into the settings messed around left the tv off for a day and it is back to normal, i say mess around with the settings
40" LCD died after 20 months of normal use. LCD panel assy. is defective and Samsung does not want to repair it. MFG. warranty is only 12 months for TV paid over $3,000. Panel costs more then brand new TV of equal quality...

Did you ever fix your TV ?
I was just curious. I have the same problem on my 42LG60 (except the OSD menu problem).

stopping by to see your Samsung issue as well...
I had to pay $564 USD to get a replacement mainboard/circuit board. I still plan to write to Samsung. I would never buy a Samsung product again...
