I have a 50" Philips plasma tv that has perfect color, but occassionally has a black strip one the left side. It goes away, then it comes back. What can this be? Internal or external problem? Price range for repair because my warranty literally passed a week ago? It is only a year old, so I doubt it "burnt out". Please try and cover anything applicable, any help and suggestions is most appreciated.

Does this happen on all the inputs (antenna, DVD, satellite, cable or anything else)? It actually sounds more like a source problem than a TV problem.If you see it on all inputs, you should be contact Philips customer service and explain the problem. Even if your warranty is expired, it is probable that the problem itself occurred before the end of the warranty.
