So I am new to the forums, so be nice. I ususally use AVS for video game stuff. I am also lazy, did not want to search through all the Samsung threads for what I hope to be is a simple answer
.
So I did a decent amount of research and bought this TV in August right before I closed on my house. Finally, after much work, moved in last week.
Comcast came and set up the HD box and all looks great. I noticed today however, after not watching for a couple weeks while on my honeymoon that when i really look at the screen it looks like there are bars going from right to left on the screen (only 1 or 2) and they scroll from the bottom of the TV to the top.
I am praying the TV is not defective and there is some alignment I have yet to do. Any thoughts? If anything major please PM me so I can fully understand what to do. Thanks a lot.

OK I GOT NEW INFO:
as per jalis' suggestion i unplugged everything to see if bars could be from another source. it turns out the horizontal bars were from the cable box. i actually jiggled the wires around a bit and they disappeared. however, i then went into my office and the bars are now going down by 32inch westy lcd.
i am very frustrated and wondering what could cause this? as soon as i got the 50inch plasma to be resolved, i notice this on my 32in westy and know for a fact it was not there an hour earlier.
anything i should do/could do, or should i call comcast and let them handle it?? is there anything they can even do??
