Purple sides - is it the backlights or the Power/LED Driver board

Recently my TV started developing an issue where the backlights to both the left and right started turning purple. I have found places where you can buy replacement LED strips and also the Power/LED board. However I am not sure how to determine which is the problem.

The sides are pretty even in the amount of purple that is there. Picture is attached. Anyone tried this repair?

thecousinsfamily unusual presentation of a failed backlight but anything is possible. This maybe an issues of the LED's losing their coating. The only other alternative would be a bad LCD panel. I would replace the backlight strips and re-evaluate.
