I have a 3.5 year old Samsung UN60FH6003F and after a recent move, it has a thin red/black horizontal line across the screen about 2/3 of the way up.

It's a few pixels high and varies a bit between red and black and 1-line vs 3-4 lines of different thicknesses. I can provide pictures if it's easier. It's pervasive across all inputs and even the TV setup screens. Squeezing the TV slightly on the sides seems to make it go away, but as soon as I release it, they come back. Can you suggest what might be wrong and which part to order to fix it? It's a $1,000 TV and I think it should last longer than 3 years!

Thin white horizontal lines!!! I've had my WEGA KE-42M1 for 5 years with no problems until about three months ago. After about an hour being on, there are thin white horizontal lines that move randomly...

Sounds like your TV is giving out, plain and simple.

If this doesn't sound right, then only one thing comes to mind. Have you moved the TV recently? Are you using a different coax cable, (if using cable that is). If so, just change the cable back to the previous one and you should be fine.

Black line across screen

module problem take it to a Authorized dealer or a NESDA dealer service manuals hard to say if available since analog TVs are slowly going away and parts well another story might as well go buy a new HDTV set as a CET no garuntee how long it will be analog TV parts will be discontinued. FCC has alot to do with it.

Thin red horizontal lines across screen

replace the focus block or try to adjust the screen control on the focus block for red only. this will affect the white balance of the set so adjust it carefully. the focus block is located on the front inside the set. remove the speaker cover then the 4 screws on the front plate. the focus block is 3" x 2" black box with 6 adjustment posts three for focus and three for screen. adjust only the affected screen (R).

LN-T4665F 46 in. LCD- Black Line across screen

The set is under a year old and is under warranty. The LVDS cable inside these sets have a history of coming loose. The problem could be the panel. Either way, the set is the problem and needs to be looked at. This set is worked on in the home and does not need to be taken to a shop, so, you can still use it. Contact Samsung at: 1-800-SAMSUNG Hope this helps.
