Had my Philips 42PF7220A/37B for a little over two years. When I first got it I had to have the panel replaced due to bad pixels. Now, all of a sudden it has a black vertical band down the screen! Does this mean the panel? Any other repair options?

Pulled the back off to reset the connectors as we just moved so I was hoping one had came loose and discovered that the panel itself is Samsung.

Anyone know about this panel?

Went though a burn in DVD I had made awhile back that cycles through colors. Now I can tell that the dark band in question is just off. No matter what color is displayed on screen, the band is dark. No pixels at all light within the band.
