Remove black line appears on your LCD TV

MOST LIKELY YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE LCD PANEL. Try lightly squeezing the top of the TV. Start from one corner and work your way slowly to the other side. If squeezing the top of the frame clears up the screen problem, you have a defective LCD panel tab. The only true repair is the replace the screen. This cost for a replacement panel could cost more than a new TV set.

Your panel went bad. It is not cost effective to fix. I don't think you could get a panel any way.

The tv is having a problems with the board called T-Con board it is dying and the problems.That why the tv is not sustancening the tv pictures for those coded pictures pixels by the T-Con board to stay on to the tv LCD screen panel.This tv problems only causes by the tv T-Con board it is dying only if the tv problems came on to the tv by itself only.If these problems causes by u or an object by outer forces by hitting to the tv LCD screen panel itself.Now the tv LCD screen panel itself it is dying and the causes.Than the tv it is not repairable,tv now only can it to do a replacement of the tv whole LCD screen panel itself only.Not practical because the tv LCD screen panel are 90% important to the tv and the cost of the tv.If u replacing the tv LCD screen panel itself will cost the same as a new tv.The tv is under a year old,why don't u just call Vizio corp. and take ur tv warrenty repair.

Hi rexdale_davi ,

I would recommend you the below steps :-

1. Check if the power cords are connected properly.
2. If the product is under warranty , please get it replaced as it might have malfunctioned.
3. The vertical lines usually appear because of bad panels which are caused due to power surges.

In many cases for larger TV's the cost to replace panel is found to be higher ,therefore people prefer to buy a new one, but i would suggest you to compare the panel rates and take a decision accordingly.

Hope this helps ..:)
