Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Bad panel I'm afraid, especially the black line to the left hand side.

Thanks! Do you mean bad panel as in power supply or video card?

The panel usually refers to the actual 'screen'.

Thanks, that's what I thought he meant. What can go bad on a lcd screen if its not broken or cracked?

Could the line be tab bonding? I just don't get the snow.

Thanks!

The snow is just the analogue signal.
Change it to hdmi and it should go away.

Yes most likely is a tab bond failure. Or Ribbon ICs are failing.
