Vertical line the centre of television

[george1939]

A vertical line has developed in the centre of the screen of my 42 inch LCD Toshiba Television purchased 05/10/06 This week Toshiba replaced my other 46 inch television LCD which developed two vertical lines on the left hand side. This was under warantry because I purchased it 06/08/2008 How might I proceed with the older model the Service Engineer called in by the television shop said both televisions needed replacement screens The shop says for me to have a word with Toshiba as the older set is still watchable and implied I may have to live with it. This I am not prepared to do

Advice needed

if you can prove it is a known manu fault, that tosh acknowledges with the model, then it can be replaced under the 'unfit for purpose' SOGA rule....AFAIK

Hi - I'm no expert but I'm positive one will be along soon. It isn't a Toshiba 42WLT66 by any chance? I've heard these are made by pretty much putting two halves of a screen together to make one. So this would be a manufacturing defect.

Again I'm no expert, but I'm thinking the shop shouldn't be telling you to have a word with Toshiba - isn't it their responsibility to sort things out as the contract lies with the seller, rather than the manufacturer?
