vizio m3d650sv with Ghosting and vertical lines

[michaelgrepp]

Hi I'm Michael,

I have a vizio m3d650sv with 3 1/2 -1 inch thick vertical lines on the left panel that are both black and colored. The panel also will leave behind traces of the original image with it taking some time for the original image to bleed away, even when turning to a black screen.

Think of it as a type of ghosting that is very slow, it doesn't seem to affect the left part of the panel.

However I noticed when unplugging the HDMI cable while a movie was playing, the blurred images remain even on a blank screen.

The vertical lines also cut off part of the channel and input info on the top right corner.

Is this a main board or TC board issue, or likely the panel is done.

Thanks,
-Michael

Looks like bad panel unfortunately.

Is it worth taking it apart and checking the tabs or swapping out a 15 dollar TC board, if I tap on the screen itself it just gets whiter/lighter anywhere but I can't directly affect the line or the ghosting from tapping anywhere as far as I can tell.

I found this TV outside so there isn't really a loss for me, just wondered if it was something I could fix (i'm pretty technologically inclined)
