After I reseated the cables.

Since what is shown on the screen now is not the same, then the cables are not seated back in place properly.

Just took another picture like the first one. I think it was the camera angle that didn't show the right side lines on the first one. They are faint, but there.

Attached both.

Included a third picture that may show the lines better, again, some are faint. The picture appears clear behind the lines.

The lines appear completely across the screen.

you would do yourself a great favor IF you drive the set with a known test pattern signal... then there will be no guessing as to what to expect. Just to make sure it isn't something else like as suggested... cable / ribbon problem.

Thanks again.

I have no test pattern signal generator.

The attached picture is the clearest I can get. The screen has looked the same from the beginning, before and after re-seating the cables. Nothing has changed. Same vertical red lines.

I apologize for being such an amateur and realize it can be frustrating to deal with.

no problem... just for information, if you have a dvd player, just track down any of number of dvd's (usually ones with thx labels) that have various test screens in the supplemental material.

:-( disappointing that you haven't been able to impact / change the response of the screen.

what does the screen show when you only have one tcon cable plugged in (either side).
