This is a Vizio VA370M 37" LCD TV that has a Red horizontal pixel line. Yours might be Blue or another color. This is my test of a popular "fix" online to tap the line up and down until the line goes away. Other people report tapping has fixed the line. In my case it did not work.

READ THE COMMENTS ON THE VIDEO:
There are a few really good suggestions and many people have
commented that user comments helped them fix their own issues!

I simply returned the TV.

It worked on my 46" Vizio. I had a single maroon line 6.5" from left side. Will see how long it lasts?

[sellyourgift]

@arthur1957 cool. please reply with how long it lasts! Thanks!

[arthur1957]

@sellyourgift It came back a day or so later. I tapped again, and it now has not come back in nearly a month.

@arthur1957 That's cool. I'm glad it worked for you. Wish it had worked for me

Replace the logic control board...thats what the problem is and its only going to get worse till you do...I just had mine fixed and thats how I know..hope that helps.

damon323 says: Vizio P42HD had vertical lines ~1" thick & left side of the screen would go black periodically. On Craigslist, type TV Repair. I found several TV Repair guys who were not only qualified techs, but much cheaper than local shops! The guy I called knew exactly what was wrong & gave me part # to order. Went on Ebay typed part # & found the Logic Control board for $115 brand new! Repair man installed for $80 and worked! My TV is plasma, yours is an LCD, but i'm pretty sure it'll work!

Hit my tv with a hammer cause I was mad at my wife - caused a line to go through TV vertically on my 48" Hisense LCD TV - the fix worked like a charm - thanks!!

After reading some of the comments, the issue could be dirty connections, bad logic board or bad capacitor. If anyone had their tv repaired please list the model and the issue black or red horizontal or vertical line. Please list the component replaced or repaired and the model of the tv. It would be nice to know the price for the repair. I have a Vizio P50 HDTV20A with the same issue shown in the video. (red vertical line same location)

Mine has a solid black bar going from right to left, hardly touches left ends about middle but you can see it starting to come in, I have the Red line on my left side. I have "taped" (hit) the back of my tv and tapped the front neither worked. I have messed around (unscrewed rescrewed, unplugged replugged) any and all wires to my tv. Nothing works. Most likely a blown fuse but I have no idea, I'm not a scientist...

@crozez You're welcome! Glad it worked!

@stitcha123 yes lol it did not work. I stated this in the notes above. I simply returned the TV. Other people have good fixes in the comments below.
