Vertical Lines on Samsung 42" RPTV
My 2 week old 42" Samsung DLP is exhibiting a problem: Regardless of
input source, even on test patterns, I am seeing faint vertical lines about an inch apart across the screen. They are most noticeable when viewing lighter colors. On some colors, like blue, they do not appear at all. (Please do not advise me to have a tech look at it since it is under warranty - I know to do that and am awaiting a callback from the shop.) Has anyone ever seen this kind of thing on their sets? |

So you were expecting a diagnostic reply from a description of faint
vertical lines? Ya, right. You need to have a tech who is trained on that specific Samsung model and has seen several of them so they can determine if this is really a fault with the unit or just normal for the design. Maybe not the answer you wanted, but the only and obvious answer. Otherwise, take the defective thing back as it obviously does not have the quality you expected and get a refund so you can buy another one. |

I do have a tech on the way. All I was expecting was an answer to my
question which was SIMPLY has anyone else had this problem. That's it. This IS a newsgroup for folks with a certain curiosity about such matters, no? |

You are right, but please take into account that a DLP TV is a complex
device. Also that kind of TV havenīt been around for enough time to allow the DLP technollogy to mature. Having said that, itīs highly unlikely that someone can tell you whats wrong with your DLP set without checking it, because there is not enough experience with these sets yet. I always think that buying the latest and hotest is not always the wise thing to do, because there are lot of chances for anything to go wrong. Personally I would have bought a LCD TV. |

UPDATE: The tech came out and within 2 minutes determined the light
engine in my Samsung RPTV (HL-R4266W) is defective. It'll take about a week for them to come back out and actually replace it. Bummer! |

Part Orders ocassionally take a whole lot longer than that, maybe he was
just trying to comply with your request of immediate service? "jMon54" wrote in message oups.com...
