Line, faults & possible causes to LCD screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent.
After looking through the user manual I could not find any error codes to diagnose your problem. I suggest calling Phillips Customer Support at 1-888-PHILLIPS.
if the lines are going horizontally across and look like someone took a thin magic marker and marked across the screen, you have one of two problems, either some scan ic's have failed or you have a flex cable coming loose from the panel. Either way it will require repair. If it is the flex cable the cost to repair will be beyond the tv's worth because the whole panel needs to be changed to fix this. If it turns out to be the scan ic's, they can be changed or the board the ic's are on may be changed depending on how the repair is approched by the tech. But the cost would be reasonable around 200 to 250. Good luck
This set is a HD plasma tv and convergence is done differently than the rear projection tv's,rear projection tv's have convergence Ic's and you can adjust the color but not on this unit.
It may be a problem with a cheaper HDMI cable. If the cable is too long or if the cable is of a cheaper quality, you may be able to solve the problem with a larger and shorter "pipe"
My Philips 42PF7320A 42" Has lines running into the picture and also you see alot of black pixels. Color is pink and picture is distorted.
Thanks,
Diane
