Why TV Retrace Lines OccurI am no expert, but I will try to explain A standard TV screen is made up of 480 lines from top to bottom. Retrace lines will only happen on a TV with a regular Picture tube (known as a CRT), they will not happen on a LCD or Plasma screen. So before I say how retrace lines happen, lets first get little understanding of how the TV puts an image on a CRT. The lines on a CRT are made by a device in the back (known as the neck)of the picture tube called the electron gun. By use of magnetic fields controlled through a device called a Yoke mounted on the neck of the CRT. Now the electron beam emitted by the electron gun is made to go across the front of the CRT screen that is coated with a layer of Phosphor that glows when the electron hits it. When that beam starts at one side reaches the opposite side of the picture tube it has to quickly return back to that first side in order to make that next line. On a standard TV, in order to make the image of a single frame, it creates this line across the screen 240 times from top to bottom, it then returns to the top and starts down again with a second set of 240 lines that fill in between the first 240 lines to create one full frame image of 480 lines, and it does this 30 times a second. Now the retrace lines you are asking about happens when a circuit in the TV known as the Blanking Circuit, fails causing the Beam that is moving from the bottom to the top of the screen to become visible.
If you have vertical lines on an LCD TV it is most likely that the TFT panel has failed. This would make the TV beyond economical repair. To be sure tack it to your local repair centre.Additional information: 1 or 2 very thin lines on Sony CRT (tube) televisions are normal. The vertical lines are actually support wires for Sony's Trinitron aperture grille system.
Something was done incorrectly. Retrace the repair.
Horizontal retrace refers to the period when a display's electron beam moves back to the starting position after completing a horizontal scan line, while vertical retrace is the time taken for the beam to return to the top of the screen after scanning all the horizontal lines. In essence, horizontal retrace occurs within a single frame, and is quicker, while vertical retrace signifies the transition between frames. Both processes are crucial for the synchronization of image rendering in CRT displays.
Of course you retrace your steps.
Retrace (or re-trace) is a verb.
US Retrace was created in 2000.
In a raster display system, horizontal retrace refers to the process where the electron beam returns to the beginning of the next line after completing one line of the display, occurring rapidly across the width of the screen. Vertical retrace, on the other hand, occurs when the beam moves back to the top of the screen after completing all the lines, marking the transition to the next frame. Essentially, horizontal retrace handles line transitions, while vertical retrace handles frame transitions. Both processes are crucial for maintaining a stable and flicker-free image on the screen.
