4" Static Line down middle of picture

[vegastalkradio]

I have a Westinghouse 40" LCD TV Model VR-4025 (15 months old) and now has a 4" wide line of static down the middle of the picture. See picture attached.

Called Westinghouse and it is out of warranty so they won't do anything. I researched on the Internet and it seems like it might need a T-Con LCD Timing Control Board. Seems that controls the image to the screen.

Do you think it is something else?

I don't know, but I think they should still cover a TV that's 15 months old.

If not that, I'd suspect a tab bonding issue:
