Screen Resolution Errors

• Vertical lines when the television is on may be related to issues with the television's screen resolution. Resolutions set higher than 1280 by 720 can create visual disturbances on the screen. You can reset the resolution through the control panel's display settings menu. This should correct the issue immediately, although you may need to power the television off and then on again in some cases.

Vertical Lines When Viewing Analog Channels

• Visual "noise" can be a side effect of viewing analog channels. In some situations you may need to contact your satellite or cable provider. External service boxes are the most common situation in which your cable or satellite provider is most qualified to correct the problem. If you are using an antenna or if your cable connects directly to your television from the wall, you can correct the issue by accessing the "Analog Fine Tune" option from the television's settings menu.
