    Horizontal lines Sony KDL-40BX450

    I'm a newbie with LDC TV issues, so hoping someone can help.

    I've checked out the troubleshooting guides but still not sure if my TV's panel is faulty or its the T-CON board.

    Tried to take pic but camera creates swirling or curved lines in the pics!

    So to describe the issue: the lines are horizontal, thin, static, and across the full width of the screen; are not or are less visible if the picture is very light (near-white); appear mostly in the top half of the screen; their colour varies depending on the image,but are most often purple.

    Currently they are slightly annoying, but my perception is that they have increased in number and moved further down the screen in the last few months.

    Some "internet experts" suggest this can be fixed by replacing T-CON board but ShopJimmy warns that horizontal lines are almost never caused by T-CON faults .... this newbie is

      ok here is a pic, no swirly effects from the camera in this one for some reason!

      NOTE: The two dark lines at angle across the letters are just part of the image, not part of the problem!

      Problem lines are 100% horizontal.

      Hope that helps ...

              I will find out on weekend ... but replacement unlikely to be worth it, no?

                Sony XBR-85X950G Gray horizontal lines and vertical picture shift diagnosis?
                by noisykid
                5.5 year old 85 inch Sony Bravia X950G started showing gray horizontal lines across the bottom of the screen and the picture shifts slightly vertically when it happens. The lines sometimes get bigger/smaller vertically and bounce back. See the video for the problem. It seems to be happening after it warms up after an hour or so. Happens regardless of source. Right now there's nothing but power cable connected and it's happening. We did hook up a new Nintendo Switch to our HDMI switching receiver today, and played for a while with no issues, but this problem didn't occur til a few hours later while...

                Sony XBR-65X750D Horizontal lines bottom of screen
                by ggil44
                Hi, I have a Sony XBR-65X750D that has horizontal lines at the bottom 6 inches of the screen. These lines appear to be every other line because the picture is still quite visible behind those lines. The lines appear all the time with a few other lines above and below the 6 inch level blinking on and off at about 2 second intervals. I'm not sure if this is a panel issue or power supply/main board problem. I did replace the T-Con board without any change in the problem. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

                TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
                by howardc64
                All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
                • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
                • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

                Sony KDL-50W685A horizontal black lines Pattern
                by Raulnn
                good morning! I have a problem with this Sony. The image has a pattern of black horizontal lines, I attach a photo of the lines. The power supply is external and emits a sound. I don't think it's because of that. Let's see if someone can help me.

                Sony XBR65X900H TV with Horizontal Lines right half of screen
                by dvu0627
                I have a Sony Smart TV XBR65X900H that started to have horizontal lines on the right side of the screen (see attached picture). When I played video on Youtube green horizontal line at regular intervals(1/4") across the screen.
                I replaced the T-Con board but the lines are still there.
                I believe this issue is from the Main Board. Before I replace the Main board, I wanted to seek advise if this is the problem from the Main board or something else?
                Thank you for the help....
