Vertical lines in the picture on light background only

When there is a light background you can see two vertical lines about 6 inches from either side going from the top to the bottom.

    The picture is not grayed or blacked out on the outside of these lines. The lines are only about 1/2" wide and the picture is fully displayed past the lines.

It sounds like you have Image burn in on your crt's. This happens when you watch programs in 4X3 mode. (The sides are blacked or grayed out and the picture is centered in the screen). The only way to fix this is to replace the crt's. I wish I had better news. Let me know if I can be of further assistance

    You have a full picture, I know that. The point I was trying to make is that maybe at some point in time, a program that you were watching was in the 4X3 mode. HD stations transmit commercials in the 4x3 mode a lot of times. In the 4x3 mode, you will have a fulle picture from top to bottom but it will not completely fill the screen from left to right. The video usually stops about 6 inches from either side. If you watch a program in this mode for tooo long, that edge will be burned into the phosphorous of the crts and will be seen on light background scenes. That is what I think has happened. I carry a video generator with me which gives me th ability to light each individual crt. When I do this it becomes readily apparent what the problem is.

The screen has colored vertical lines and becomes to a dark black band about 6 inches of width.The tv is exactly two years old by today.

My 3-year old 52-inch Toshiba flat panel TV (Model # 52RV53U, Serial # AM409000295) developed a display problem (purchased Aug. 2008, manufactured July 2008). Vertical multicolored lines appeared on the screen just left of center. The band of thin vertical bars is 5.5 inches wide. The lines are about 1/16-inch wide. They are stationary, always exactly in same place. They over-ride any other picture on the screen (no transparency). They are there all time even with no video inputs to the TV after the unit is turned on. See picture #1. The TV works well in every other respect, but, obviously, it is annoying to watch the picture with the color band blocking about 1/6 of the picture.

Further info, pics, comments, and updates on my Facebook page at

I already swapped out the TCON board with no improvement and replugged the TCON board cables with no improvement.

Most likely it is the flat panel tab bond failure (panel made by Samsung). Further solution updates will be on my Facebook page.

Blue vertical line thru picture

It is called "Thin vertical lines" and change colors depending on the background color.
It is fixable but there are several components that can show this sympton.

You will need a tech to fix it in order to save money (because you do not want to buy a board you dont know if will fix it).
Possible Solutions:
Replace Timer Control Board, if it is not fixed
Replace Sustain Board.

One of those boards needs to be replaced and I wrote the most likely first.
