Samsung PN59D8000FF Panel Problem

I have little doubt that this is unrepairable, but I wonder what sort of failure it might be...

Thanks for your opinions!

Well, uhm, that's a new one... Never seen that before. I'd guess a Y-buffer problem. Doesn't look like the panel's bad to me.

I have not seen this in person, I was sent a picture. When I look closely at the black area, I almost swear I can see a crack in the glass.

You're right. I can too. It looks like part of the panel has de-gassed. I wouldn't touch it, as it's not repairable. Most panels go completely dark when the glass is cracked, though. That's very odd.
