LG 60lf6090 Horizontal Faint lines only in darker shades of grey

[sstevenson72]

I have read many posts on the Horizontal lines, but I feel those are different then the issue I am seeing as they have distinct horizontal lines in the picture. Whereas mine the picture is fine until you start getting into the darker not so bright shaded areas containing grays. I am curious if this might be a TCON issue or Mainboard. Maybe cables as I have seen that mentioned in a few posts. I will attach the images of what I am talking about. Notice the standard parts of the picture seem to be perfectly fine but the gray's

I am hoping this has been run into before and I am just missing the previous post but I could not find it based on this specific model either by google or forum search.

Forgot to mention I have tried from multiple sources to the TV to see if the lines would go away. This actually happens without any external source. If you look at the LG screen indicating no source connected the problem is prevalent. Just as it is on the Short lived LG Boot screen.

Can confirm my 60LF6090-UB is also exhibiting this EXACT annoying condition as of this week. Is this a panel failure symptom or is there any hope to save my 60 inch?

Looks like bad gate driver, maybe try the "cut tape" method, sometimes you have to play with position of tape : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7vl7-vZEL8

Thanks for the reply. The symptom for the LG in that link is different than symptom I'm currently experiencing on my 60 inch. My symptoms look just like the pictures in the OP's original post and there are very few instances of this exact symptom documented, much less reported as fixable.

Thanks all for your suggestions and experience.

I uploaded the same pics to the forum for posterity and longevity in case the image host disappears one day.

Your tv is a 5 year old 1080 p tv, BELIEVE me, it's nothing we haven't seen a thousand times over.
