42" LCD Look at this picture

Can anyone tell me what is causing the problem with this LCD TV? Here's a couple of pictures. I don't actually have this TV, but someone is selling it. Thanks.

Looks like a bad panel to me, if it has double images.
Fixable -- but tricky:

I may be out of line here but I am going to suggest something radical as the fact is that other than classic problems fully outlined on the internet it is very difficult to say what is wrong with a set just from the picture.
(Especially one as bad as that!)

Why dont you just spend more time on the internet and looking back on threads on here for pictures of faulty screens and what was wrong with them.
There are many sites that come up with pictures if you type in faulty lcd
panel - then go to images or videos.

It's not a 42" sammy LCD. There's no such thing. Samsung make 37", 40" and 46", among others. They make 42" plasmas, but that's an LCD, with a black screen, and the bezel and stand are too thin for an older "rose tint" plasma design.

And I take a risk on a purchase. Never guaranteed I'll fix one but I manage 90~95% successfully. I usually buy TVs which aren't powering on. Not with picture problems, if I can avoid them. Absolutely no problem in getting them here -- in fact, if anything, I can find too many. The market is saturated. Good for me.
