Vizio LCD.. Worth bothering with it ?

[Nitro468]

Freebie on Craigslist, I think it is probably toast, but what does semi-transparent mean in this case? Here is the description...

I have a 46" Vizio tv that's all yours. The catch is that it has a semi-transparent one inch black band across the screen. It's not too bad and we used the tv for months with this issue. It doesn't obscure anything it's just makes everything a little dimmer in that part of the screen.

Bad panel ? or is it worth playing with ?

Tab bond. Worth a shot if you want to tear it down.

Post a pic of the anomaly.

Hey for free... get it!

Have a play and if it fails use the boards as parts
