Luxor LCD horizontal lines and all messed up

[Chrisk85]

My sons Luxor lcd has horizontal and vertical coloured lines, also a splash mark as if it's been hit by something although he is adamant it hasn't been hit and a large whit triangle eminating from the mark. Any ideas if it could be fixed or time for a new one?

That sounds like a cracked LCD panel, which would not be repairable. That would only happen if someone/something has hit the panel.
Something like this? http://www.edmontontvrepair.com/service.htm

Thank you tom66 I had a feeling that was the case. On the hunt for a new tv I guess although it will be coming out of his birthday money.

If you buy a non-storebrand TV (like Luxor), avoid Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, Sanyo and JVC: they all re-badge their TVs and so you basically get a store-brand TV with a fancy name on the front. Panasonic, Sony, LG and Samsung still make their own (that list is in order of personal preference.)
