How to Get Rid of the Tracking Line on My LG Plasma
Tracking lines on an LG plasma TV are usually pink or white flickering lines that are present when viewing a videotape. These lines are used by video cassette recorders to ensure the image is stable and roll-free on the television screen. Although it is normal to see these lines, they may prove annoying. Your LG set, like all flat panels, has a zoom mode to take care of this issue.
