It can be the main board, power supply, backlight inverter, etc.
You need to do some troubleshooting to narrow down the probelm, so please read my guide first.
First, look at the screen in darkened room to see if you can see any slight glow from the screen, if it does, then the problem can be the T-CON (not getting the 12vdc) or the main logic board not feeding the signals to the T-CON board.
if not, next place to check will be the power supply module, make sure it has 24vdc which is required by the backlight inverter to work, the reason for not having 24vdc can be from bad DC filter caps (leaking/bulging top, high ESR) or short circuits in the inverter board which will cause the 24vdc supply to go into shutdown mode, so you may have to disconnect the power cable that feed the inverter board to see if the 24vdc will work without the inverter board hookup, you will need to apply about 3~4 amp of load to the 24vdc to make sure it can handle that. There are fuses on the backlight inverter boards also. So there is some troubleshooting you will have to do to find out the causes of the problem you are having.
If you are going to DIY and have proper tools, electronics knowledge, and know safety precaution then please read on:

There are lots of common problems with flat screens that result in those symptoms. Some fixes are super easy and cost $.35 haha and others can cost hundreds not to mention if your doing it your self or not factor in labor. Lots of people sell tv s like that from $50 to $100 bucks and they sell quick! Hell I'd buy it if I had the chance. Could use parts or god forbid find an easy solution ( rare :( )
you can only replace lcd's not fix them, take the item back for a manufactures warranty replacement- it sounds like the lcd pixels dead or at least on its way, also a possibility the lcd controller is malfunctioning
Seems like display panel fault. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts.
