Green Line on Panasonic Plasma

[spydersingh]

Recently I have noticed a green line on the screen of my Panasonic Plasma (TH-50PZ70B), bought under a year ago.

(Inputs are: DVB Freeview Built in via Coax Aeriel/PS3 via HDMI/Wii via Component/SNES, N64 via Scart/PS2 via S-Video)

First noticed it exclusively during playing the PS3 via HDMI. It would go away if you switched TV on/off. Now it has begun to appear during normal DVB/Freeview watching.

To look at, it appears to be no more than 1-2 pixels wide on the extreme right hand side. I initially thought it was a shadow/optical illusion due to sun/lights in room but definately on screen now.

Any reasons why this maybe?

This sounds familiar - IIRC, there is a hidden service menu that you can access to adjust the screen. Can't remember what the remote button combinations are - have a search of www.avforums.com for advice.

It may be you can adjust this green line away, or it may be faulty. Not sure, but I bet avforums can help.

Cheers

ETA - I have a 50" Panasonic Plasma and I have used this engineering function.

Nope, the panel has gone, it needs a new one, if its under g'tee then get it booked in asap, if its not then start kicking off like stink to panasonic and they will eventually agree to pay for the parts

That's why I only bought mine when Panasonic were offering a free 5 year warranty.

Is the John Lewis guarantee/warranty the same?

Have it is very good - difference is you deal with John Lewis - I'd give them a call if I was you.
