Set up a flatscreen for a friend... Problems!

If the stripes are in the picture area and not just Letterboxing then there's an issue with the set, either the panel is bad or the board that drives it.
Is it Plasma or LCD?

It's LCD. I shouldn't have mentioned the issue I saw. Now, I'll never hear the end of it.

The stripe runs from the top to the bottom of the right side of the screen. It's like every other line is there, and it's dim in the area of the screen. No, it's not letterboxing, or pillarboxing for a 4x3 TV picture. The other side of the screen looks just fine.

Seems like there's a video that is supposed to fix or reactivate dead pixels. I know that you don't have dead single pixel but maybe a few lazy ones possibly? What it does is flashes bright colors in rapid sucession, just don't look at it while it runs!
