white scanning line

I am looking at buying a used KV- 30HS 420. Does anybody remember if it suffered from the faint vertical white line or bar that rotated side to side? My 34HS 510 did and was fixed from a menu adjustment. I'm trying to get away from that again if possible.

Finally found the thread dealing with it.

Found my own answer, should have searched more throughly from the start :/

thanks!

Yes. This problem was supposedly corrected with a design change for the HS420, XS955/XBR960 sets. A PLL circuit was added to the MID. I haven't seen any reports of the above sets exhibiting this issue and I'd be surprised if the 970 took a step backward in design.

Are you sure that the problem you are seeing is the same as discussed in this thread? Have you checked to see if you have a service menu item HDPT?

My HS510 exhibited this problem with a 3inch wide pinkish vertical bar that moved left to right across the screen once per second.
