DerpFace,

Sounds like you may have a thermal crack on the internal screen if you do not see any crack on the outside.

It could have also been caused by something accidentally hitting it or when moving it. It doesn't take much to damage an LCD.

good luck

Thanks I'm probably just going to buy a new TV and maybe scrap this one and check out your explanation

Would a thermal cracking be caused from leaving it on?

Depends on if it's left on for how long. Heat can cause it. It's really hard to say, but the cost of a replacement screen would probably be more than buying a replacement TV. Manufacturers pay much less as they can mass produce the screens.
