Samsung LE46M86BD

When powered on the picture is half dark
then after a while (20mins or so )
once warm it is ok

And no issues

Is it a t con issue or is it with the panel ?

Panel. Maybe tab fault, sometimes fixable.

What is that line, under Cafeteria workers?

That's often seen when gate tab bond failures occur; I'm not sure why...
