I have posted this before and you said pics might help. The up and down lines will leave after warm up when you turn off and on and it will stay on unit you turn off and let cool down. The line across the top left corner never leaves goes almost half way across. Thought might be cap in power supply but changed the power supply didn't help. Sure hope it not the panel I may just watch it this way and never turn it off. Will try and post pics....

My unit has started this problem since a power surge (lightning). Here is the problem when I first turn on the unit I get Horzi. lines of different sizes and color all the way across with the picture in the background faintly, also seems to have some retention in pic. Now the odd thing you can turn the unit off and on a few times in say 5 mins. and it works just fine from then on no matter how long you let it stay on. Has a great pix. Sites I have searched seem to say this is a bad panel this is so hard to believe because it doesn't stay this way all the time. I am on Direct TV with HDMI inputs....
