Black band There is a black band 1/3 of the way up from the bottom, and below that there are multi-colored bands. It's always there, and doesn't go away unless the TV is off. The TV is a 42" plasma screen sansui bought in 2007.  Thank you!

I have no idea what an inverter is. Thank you so very much for providing this solution. Unfortunately, we live in the middle of nowhere so teexp is not an option. Did you mean INVERTER?
