Samsung SyncMaster 740N 17

A pink vertical line appears suddenly on the screen (by 6 users)


posted by maverik on Apr 09, 2007


My Samsung SyncMaster 740N monitor is just a week old, and a pink vertical line appears on the screen suddenly. It disappears if I shake the screen or press the monitor edges of the monitor. It doesn't go away by restarting or turning off and turning on the computer. What could be wrong? please help.

The solution (maybe the ONLY) is to exchange the monitor for a new one. That's what I did. It's mostly free if under warranty.
I have the same problem.

I purchased a ChiMei CMV 221D 22" LCD display about 3 months ago. It worked perfectly until two weeks ago, when the infamous pink line appeared on the right side of the panel. No amount of powering off & on, playing with the buttons, or shaking worked. Then like one of you mentioned, the line would come and go intermittently - no rhyme or reason. Well, last week I found the reason, and maybe this will help one of you. My wife bought me a perpetual-motion desktop gadget featuring a chrome rod and ball sculpture that's supported on two poles over a base. Give the rod and ball a push, and it rocks back and forth forever. It can do this because there is a rather powerful electromagnet in the base, powered by a 9-volt battery. The ball contains a magnet also, and is repelled each time it passes the base, thus causing the motion. These magnets were affecting the flat panel display. Whenever I happened to push the sculpture close to the terminal, the line appeared. If I happened to move it back, the line disappeared. I finally placed it on a shelf away from the display and have not seen the line in four days. This could possibly happen with any powerful magnet placed close enough to the flat panel to interfere with the pixels. If any of you have placed any speakers near your display recently, or anything that might contain a magnet, move it further away and see if that resolves the problem.

The only option is to exchange it for a new one if it has warranty.

I resolved this problem by exchanging the monitor for a new one. I guess that's the thing to do if your monitor is new and under warranty.
