55HT1U possible bad tcon

[Jeryswan]

I have a 55HT1U that is displaying an image that is distorted and somewhat "staticy"

My anticipation is that the T-con is bad. what do you guys think?

What does it look like with video source?
What is the history of the TV?

Here is what it looks like with a video source. One half is still very gritty. The other half is almost indistinguishable. While there is no video, there is a white line down the worse half.

Panel problem. Do you know the history of the TV? Used TV?
