THIS IS THE START OF THE PLASMA GAS RUNNING OUT...PLASMA TVS ONLY LAST 4 TO 5 YEARS THE GAS JUST BURNS OUT....LCD TVS LAST ALOT LONGER UP TO 10 YEARS..

Try to change the hdmi cable...

set your plasma hdmi input...

Good Luck

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.
