Can you get a plasma computer monitor repaired?

Question

I have been noticing these lines across my screen lately, ( yes I am sure it is on the screen and not what I am viewing because it shows up on everything) Anyway, is this repairable?

I speant $800 for it about a year and a half ago. I cannot afford another monitor. Do you know how much it might cost to repair it? I live in San Jose California so keep that in mind. What I mean is everything is expensive here.

sorry I meant 2 and a half years ago. My warranty was a 2 year one and coincedinetly it messed up after the warranty ended.

Answer 1

Do a search for your Brand and Model. They usually have a troubleshooting section and maybe they can help you online.

I think you mean an LCD screen? I don't know if there are Plasma screens for computers. But, if you mean an LCD screen, then no. It's not repairable. Our first screen for our computer got messed up and we had to buy a new one. After about a month and a half at the Sony repair shop, they told us that it could not be repaired because most LCD screens are very difficult to repair. So, we had no choice, but to purchase a new one. Fortunately, for us, it was still under warranty. So, if yours is still under warranty, then you can take it to a repair shop that specializes on your brand of screen. If it's beyond repairable, then I'm pretty sure you can get another one from the store you bought it from. Call the store you purchased it from and find out the best way choice for you.

Answer 3

There is no real way of repairing or removing the burn in.

All phosphor based display systems (CRT direct and rear view and plasma) are susceptible to image retention also known as "ghosting, image shadowing, image burn in." This is due to physical properties of phosphor and how it reacts to light and electric impulse.

for an $800 lcd, you should have bought the protection plan...
