Heya guys, I bought myself a 42" LG LED TV during the Boxing Day sales last year, and due to being away most of the time I haven't had the chance to use it much yet. I have noticed though that using 16:9 or 4:3 DVDs there is a line about one centimetre wide at the top of the screen, only when there is something bright at that section of the screen, not when there is black on that area of the screen, and also not when watching a 2.40:1 DVD. I hook my DVD player up through the component jacks, while I use the standard red, yellow and white RCA connectors as the cable. Could it just be static from these relatively unshielded cables? I never had a problem with static before, I used S-Video to hook my old CRT TV up to my DVD player, though. I have tried hooking another set of cheap RCA cables up instead, the same thing happens Unfortunately my DVD player doesn't have HDMI output - it's a surround sound system that I bought in 2004 - otherwise I would buy one of those cables and hook it up using that. Also, every few hours the TV screen turns black for about a second, although I think that has more to do with the electrical circuits in my house.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's highly annoying having a tv that is less than two weeks old playing up. I don't really want to pay $25 for a set of shielded component cables, but if that's the solution I guess I don't really have a choice.
