Samsung HG43ND477 - 2 Vertical colored lines

[jason123]

Hi there,
Just bought Samsung HG43ND477 TV that has 3 vertical "green" lines, with actual menu text showing through. See photo. Is this TCON or Bad panel, or how do I go from here? No obvious bad caps. Movement or tapping or twisting the set doesn't change the lines.
Thank you!

You can try resetting your t-con to panel cables and see if that changes anything

you can try taking apart the bezel / frame to get access to the lower tab bond cables along the bottom of the panel / frame. Check to see whether there is obvious "contamination" on the circuit board / connection therein from people say "washing" the screen because they already cleaned their windows and those look great... :-)
