Why does my tv screen have gray/foggy screen?

So we found this flat screen tv outside someone's yard and obviously we knew something was wrong with it. Well it does turn on!! Only thing is the screen I can barely see it. For a split second the screen turned normal while powering up but then turned like a gray color. I can still see the screen but it's like foggy? I'm not really sure how to explain, but it's like a gray opacity layer over the screen. Everything seems to be working, has sound, picture. Just this one issue.

Here's a picture

I have a LG plasma tv approx 55 inches and all of a sudden both sides of the picture has about 6 inches of just grey screen on it instead of the picture being right to the sides. What would be causing this?

We have a 10 year old Mitzubishi and on occasion there's a grey overlay screen overtop of a perfect picture. Can see everything and all seems to be working but this seems to be an "inset" that I should be able to find in the settings somehow as a "go-between" from one set of instructions to another or something. We are scratching our heads.

I haven’t seen a TV yet that claims HD or super HD that all channels are HD., I went and bought four brands in one year, and all smart TV complained to Spectrum and of course they say It my TV. next I buy new glasses and eye exam maybe that’s the problem

First thing we did was take the cable box from another TV and that solve the problem.
