The LCD wafer has gone bad, and more lines will begin to appear over time. It can be replaced but the cost may be comparable to replacing the entire television.

There is some connection defects. If you wish to know more about these kind of fault to plasma displays, check this link. There is illustrations to compare with, which cannot be included by this window.

If you get the black bar and it is vertical, not horizontal and it is on every input, your panel has failed. It is more economical to buy new than replace the panel. Try a Sony. Mine rocks.

(If the bar is horizontal, it may be an empty closed caption box)

The screen does not work properly .Ribbon wire fails.

On al the plasma tvs there are control boards on the lower part of the screen that control the vertical images. If one of the chips on one of the boards fail, have a bad connection, or no ground it will result in a thick black lne down the screen. Seeing as the tv is new I would get the warrantee repair on it. There is a possibility that there is a problem with the screen itself but more than likely its the boards.

Try cleaning and reseating the ribbon cables on the XR board.

On Philips LCD and Plasma TV's you can center the picture left and right and also vertically. Use the round joystick in the center of the remote to see of you can shift the image to the left.

Hi

when you are using DVD, there is no problem directly indicate the problem is in video game. You can try by changing colour system of the TV (PAL,NTSC etc..) or the video game to fix the problem.

Thanks
