Philips 55PFL5527 panel failure?

[PowerAmpFreak]

This Philips 55PFL5527 probably has a bad panel.
I don't see how this could be a bad T-con, right?
Please confirm.

I now have two sets of this model with the same problem.
Must be panel bonding failure, right?

Correct panel fault, doubt it fixable though

Panel failure.
Interesting ultra-wide 21:9 display. Fairly rare. Imagine sourcing a panel will be a pain.
Consider the tab-pull as done on the 70" panels as a possible temporary fix (but certainly wouldn't sell one like that myself.)

Any idea the approx age of those sets....?

Not that old I would say, 3-5 YO.

Sorry for replying to ancient threads, but I just had one of these on my table.

Picture was even worse, only the bottom fourth of the picture was visible. Culprit was the gate driver COF on the lower left hand corner which had burned and melted itself on the plastic frame. After snapping the cable free the picture was similar as seen in the first message of thread.

So an obvious panel fault. Took the box cutter and I cut all of the left hand side gate drivers off. Resulted in a good picture.

Don't know about the longevity of the "fix" though... any clues?

Long thread here which involved removal of side panel boards of Sharp 70" TV.
