Own an DU42PX12XC that shows colorful vertical lines over half of the monitor, having only half visibility, sound is good.

I believe that this could be a type of "burn in". If you watch anything with a black stripe on the sides or bottom of the screen often, then this could be the problem. My suggestion is to watch things that have no black side bars for a while (>week) and see if this eliminates the problem.
Good Luck!!

I have a LG 42PG20D with a one inch brite white stripe, going from top to bottom about 3/4 along the screen on the right side

That vertical stripe is not fixable in plasma TVs.
Well, easily 99% of them.
The reason is that what goes bad is actually embedded in the display itself and not subject to servicing or replacement.
1% , possibly less, of the plasma TVs out there have that part outside of the display and as such subject to replacement.
Sorry for the new and please do not kill the messenger!

I have a 1" wide black vertical stripe one inch away from the right side of the display

Replaced the ROM chip controlling this area. Cost $1.98 plus an hours worth of labor. Purchased several extra ROMs for future use.

We have a vertical green line on the right side of our screen. We can get rid of it by moving the picture over but then it is off center.

any verticle bar which is blue, red green about an inch wide can be fixed by replacing a control board in the set. Board number 6871QCH038C. Can be ordered through Parts Store.com for about 112.00....easy to install yourself, located behind two larger boards which are ribboned together. Takes about an hour.
