@amdmd

that could be a T-con board, Main board or panel issue. Try your onscreen TV menu and let us know if that still displays properly. Ultimately you will have to remove teh back of the TV and take a look at all the boards and check for obvious damage like domed,leaking capacitors etc. Post some good pictures of your boards with your question so that we can see what you see. Adding images to an existing question
