Aliens.....

Looks like the start of a failed AS-15 gamme chip on the T-con, time to take some t-con voltages!

The whole screen was grey. Then I had a extra tcon and I changed it then I got this

Panel is fucked trash it, take the frame off and check the tab bond drivers I bet that the one located about the grey bars is burning hot due to being shorted and causing that glitch with the screen, seen it lots on samsungs.

Definitely panel.

Why the bottom part still works well, all across the screen. That is weird, no?
If that part of the screen would be bad, then it would be bad all the way to the bottom, no?
The icons, shouldn't have color in them?
How about a picture from the front?
Which model is it? It would be nice, if everybody would include that in the title.

If the menus appear perfectly over the green part then it's not the panel...

Try going in to the service menu(plenty here on how to do that) and cycle through the screen types and sizes, might help.

Re: 40 samsung lcd bad main or panel?

you sure the tcon you fitted was ok, does look like voltage buffer (as15 or eqiv) failing. did you check fuse on orig tcon ?

Press in the following order on the remote 'info' 'menu' 'mute' 'power' the tv will turn on and the service menu will be displayed. Use 'up' and 'down' on the remote to go through the options and 'right' and 'left' to select the options.
