Can my flat screen tv be repaired if vertical lines appeared and are permanent or is it cheaper to just buy a new tv?
@jzales73 that will depend on the exact model of your TV. It is possible that these lines are caused by a bad t-con board, a bad main board or even a bad LCD panel. Let us know the exact model and post some pictures of what your TV shows with your question. That way we can see what you see. Adding images to an existing question
