LG 47G2-UG Horizontal Lines

[djinn5150]

Hello all, having some issues with my LG 47G2-UG Google TV. I have persistant horizontal lines that seem to "fade" from left to right. Basically seems to be from left side to about middle of screen but maybe more in the 2/3's range, far right is clear as day. Theese lines are evenly spaced from top to bottom at about I am guessing few mm or maybe 10px. The are probably only 1 px thick. Based on what I have read in other threads this will either be a T con or a panel issue. Is there any tests I can perform to confirm one or the other? Really don't want to order a t con just guessing Thanks in advance

Sorry but to me that looks like a panel fault, No doubt someone will concur

I concur...
Most likely the panel is bad.

All too common these days

It is starting to look more viable these days for me to get a rebonding machine to repair the bloody things!

Guess I'm in the market got any brand suggestions that are less likely to have a panel failure?

List of good TV brands:

Panasonic
Sony...ish
LG...ish

And Panasonic ain't superb with their rebadging of Vestel garbage in some of their model lines - should be ok for US sets though

Certainly avoid Samsung... LG is usually OK actually... not superb, but given a rather mediocre bunch they start to look alright.

For a reliable set (If such a thing exists!)--I would look out for a TH-50PZ80/81 Panasonic--Old yes, a 1080p set but with high power cons,(500W--you'll need no room heating!) but at least reasonably reliable--Bonus it can be Fixed if it Does fail, and has damned site better picture than this LCD junk around today!
