The lines are VERY thin, are magenta, cyan, and green. There are small groups of 2 or 3 lines spaced out every 3-4 inches starting in the center, and spanning to the right side. None of the lines are black.
SOURCE: White lines equally spaced 1" apart.
This is probably caused by the small signal board. It controls and decodes the picture information before it is sent to the display panel. It can be fixed by a quailified technician and if you contact philips (this is who makes magnavox) they will tell you the closest certified technician. Hope this helps.

problem with the driver board, 50/50 chance you will also need the upper and lower buffer boards. Julio

Hi, Depeending on the thickness of the lines matters. If the lines are Black and about 1-2 inches thick it may be a bad bottom buffer board or a bad panel (screen).
If the lines are thin 1/16 to 1/8 inch it is most likely a bad panel.
You can open up the set and depending on the model, see the thin board/boards running across the bottom with ribbon cables going to the panel. You may be able to attempt reseating the ribbon cables, but be careful as some retainer plugs break very easy.
If the lines are thick black and the reseating doesn't correct it you may be able to buy the coresponding buffer. Unfortunately some bottom buffers are actually part of the panel. If you are not comfortable taking it apart then call a professional but be aware labor charges start around $200 not counting parts, panels start at $600 up to over $1000
hope this helps
Thanks

That is the sustain and buffer boards. Try to find a repair shop to repair on the component/board level because the cost of new boards out weighs the replacement cost.

This problems colored vertical lines show up to ur tv by itself?Yes.Than ur tv the board that call the T-CON decodering board it is dying and the causes.This T-CON decodering board sit in the middle in the bottom of the tv LCD screen panel.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish T-CON decodering board for the replacement.But if this colored vertical lines causes by a person or an object by forced hitting it,this tv it is not repairable only can be replacing the whole tv LCD screen panel only,not worth as a whole tv anymore if this tv require a whole new tv LCD screen panel replacement,because it will cost the same as a new tv.Tv now only can be used as salvage tv for it electronic boards as spare parts for other tvs only now.

Each vertical line is only approximately 1-2mm thick.
