Hey Everyone,


I have a Samsung 42" Plasma (PN42A450). Over the past month or two, the TV developed a blue static that appears on bright white areas.


See:

What could be causing this? Is there anything I can do to adjust it? (the TV is out of warranty, about 20 months old)


Thanks,

Dan

We need more information.


Do cable/OTA/DVD sources all do this?

All inputs or just some? (i.e. is it just on, e.g., HDMI2?)

Are the other colors correct? (Difficult to tell from your photos)

Do you have spare cables to swap and test?

 

[dkatz]

All sources and all inputs have this issue.


Other colors seem to be correct; I believe the issue is isolated to bright white colors.


I do have extra HDMI cables, but not sure if this will help given the fact that all inputs/sources have the issue.


Thanks!

Not sure if this helps any, but the Samsung input menus (e.x. 'HDMI 1','PC IN', etc.) have the same blue static shown in the photos. I believe these menus were originally a semi-translucent blue.

Does anyone have any idea if my panel is completely dead? If the TV is not repairable at a reasonable cost (

Sounds like the pixels are misfiring, if that is the case then this would be a voltage issue...
