Right side of screen broken Samsung Plasma PN42B450B1D

Hi everyone-
I've replaced a few bad caps on some Samsung LCDs, but I know very little about TV repair. I researched this issue a little, and it seems most people think a bad logic board or a bad panel is the culprit. I got this TV for free, so I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the cost of the parts to fix. Any input is thanked and welcomed. Below is a picture of the problem. The left side of the TV is fine, and everything else works as far as I know. Thanks again!

Thats a bad panel sorry IMHO.

Yep, have to agree. Panel is dead. But rest of parts are working and in fair demand, so strip it down and recycle the panel.

Well that's better than nothing. Is there an link or a site somewhere with the prices for these parts, or do I just look them up individually? Thanks to both of you!
