toshiba 40" 4055xv1db horizontal lines untill warmed up? bad panel?

[PhaseCoder]

Got the above TV found in the back alley, decent TV when its warmed up and screens all fine.

Decent TV once warmed, but untill then, there will be 3 horizontal lines evenly spaced across the TV, on the right hand side and seems to be like a double image and a smear only so much of the right hand side.

Exact the same as what this man described in this thread HERE, goes on to post pictures here. Of the exact problem just on a samsung TV.

If I get the right point of the TV and use the ringing effect mentioned else were and in the thread I linked to the picture goes correct leaving me to think it is the panel.

is there a fix for this?

Thanks

also noticed, if I tap on the left hand side the screen the plastic around about half way down, it sorts its self out?,

Leaves me to believe its a tab issue? any way at all easisest method to sort this?
