Visible bands moving up the TV

My TV is a 52HMX84 which is 52 inches but shares the same features as the 62 in TV. Starting a few months ago, I notice that some visible color bands are moving slowly up the TV at all times. I have tried all types of adjustments in temperature, color, brightness etc., but I can not remove them. This problem is present whether I am using HD cable, playing DVD or playing PS3 games.

Please help!

I found the solution myself after posting this for a week. The interference came from the PS3. Disconnect the PS3 and the lines go away. Hook it up and the lines re-appear. It does not matter whether the PS3 is turned on or not.

Do not understand why. But will call PS3 technical support for help.

in addition to horizontal bands, there is an audible humm coming from TV, problem occurs on all 3 tvs in house, with HDMI, component & RCA hookups, problem goes away when power cord to PS3 is disconnected

The bands are caused by unsheilded power cables that are near the
set. sometimes your tv cable or antenae cable is near a power
source and it is picking up unsheilded EM signals. Remove all
power sources near your tv and tv cable.

How to repair television with horizontal lines

THIS TV SHOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY if you bought it new. Take it back and get it replaced.

It's most likely a fault in the panel itself or the T-Con (timing and control) board.

Fujitsu 42in Plasma. Model #P42HHA51AS / Serial #300174 DATED : 2006.1.03. PROBLEM: DARKISH HORIZIONAL BAND OF APROX 2.5 INCH MOVES VERTICALLY DOWN THE SCREEN. ONLY NOTICABLE WHEN THERE IS A DARK SCENE....

If you are connected to a cable box, first disconnect that and then watch another source. If the band goes away, the issue is with the cable box or the input line has a bad ground and time to notify the cable company. If it is still there, you might have a bad capacitor on the power supply board inside the TV. I feel however the cable will be the issue...Please take a few minutes to rate my answer...Thanks
