The phenomenon of Samsung TVs displaying horizontal or vertical lines is a common issue that affects image quality and can be discomforting for users during entertainment. Do you know the reasons behind it and how to resolve it? This article will provide you with essential information to address your concerns.
1. Causes of Samsung TV Horizontal Lines

The occurrence of horizontal lines on Samsung TVs is often attributed to two main causes:
External Causes
- Electronic devices such as phones, fluorescent lights, microwaves... if placed near the TV can interfere with the TV signal, causing vertical or horizontal lines.
- Poor antenna signal reception due to obstruction from tall buildings... (for TVs using antennas).
- Unstable or broken cable connection between the receiver and the TV (for cable TV).
- Inadequate power supply.
Internal Causes
- Loose or broken IC Driver circuits controlling the vertical and horizontal lines, resulting in faulty signals to the screen Panel.
- Broken circuits within the Panel (Panel malfunction).
2. Handling Samsung TV Horizontal Lines Issue

Step 1: Move electronic devices such as phones,... away from the TV.
Step 2: Check the TV signal, re-scan channels, and test connections by switching to different TV channels to see if this issue occurs on one or multiple channels.

- Adjust the position and orientation of the antenna, as signal may be affected by tall buildings or hills.

Here are some reasons and solutions for fixing the issue of Samsung TV having horizontal lines on the screen.
