Anonymous Posted on Jun 19, 2010

We own an lg 42PX5D television that we purchased in 2006. Over the years we have noticed that there are shadows especially when the scene is at night. Also there is some snow or white flecks especially in the black background. Thes symptoms are more noticable when watching a channel that is not hd. What would you suggest?

Sometimes a shadow appears when it changes scene and the black is a bit hazy

This problem happens to plasma TVs usually due to the Z SUS part, Z SUS board and Z Drive Board, malfunctioning. The Z SUS is responsible in resetting the screen for the next picture to appear. If it malfunctions, the image of the previous picture freezes and appears as shadow. Usually, the last image on the screen when you turned the unit off appears when you turn it back on before the actual picture appears.
The usual fix for this is alignment. That is, adjusting the voltages that powers the boards to an appropriate value that is indicated on the back of the panel. You may need the service of a qualified technician to perform the alignment.
I hope you find this information helpful.

Coloured sparkles appear in dark areas of picture

Sometimes just adjusting the VSCAN voltage inthe set will cure it. Other times it will be a faulty panel. Either case requires a technician to do the repairs.

Blue shadows

Looks like you need to adjust some panel voltages, usually the VS or VSCAN voltages, the panel on the inside of the set has a label with all these voltages on it and there are test points and small adjustors for changing these voltages, lower the VS voltage about 10 volts and while adjusting them have it hooked up and turned on, so you can watch the changes take place, if your not sure how to do it get an electronics specialist to do it, these tv's are loaded with high voltagers and can cause severe shock, be careful
