So it's happened to me now. I have the aforementioned TV set and have experienced the vertical lines along with the auto on/off thereafter only for the vertical lines of rainbow colors to re-appear.
I have a warranty on it via HHGregg's and placed a WO for a repair this Friday, but I wanted to get other people's experience with a fix or what have you. How did you make out in regards to results and satisfaction thereafter?
