Looks like my TV is going to get in the way of getting the AR for my wife. Our Samsung LED tv now has a band of lines running up the screen just off to the side of being in the middle of the screen. It's still watchable, but the lines are very annoying.
I've read a ton of articles about this, and it appears to be fairly common. Some guys have been able to fix it by taking off the back panel, taking off all the cables, and then putting them back on. Others have spent hundreds on new parts without any improvement. It's not just Samsung, but that's where my search has been. Without telling her what I was going to get her for Christmas, she said that we need to not spend any money on stuff we really don't need, and to just get a new TV instead.
I'll probably wait until after Christmas, that seems to be when the best sales happen. It just depends on those lines and how much worse they get.
