Vizio TV has a horizontal 2mm black/multicolor line.

The TV works fine except for the line. The line is horizontal. The line is about 8 inches from the bottom. It starts from the right side and fades away about 3/4 of the way to the left side. It is generally black but it changes color based on the color behind it. It does not seem to show at all when the screen is displaying black. It is present with multiple inputs and appears to be over the menus. It is intermittent. It showed up, then went away shortly after. Then it came back and stayed for hours until it slowly went away until it is barely visible. Is this a ribbon cable problem or is it something more sinister?

Why no answers for thin black lines on panel of vizio M3D550KD 55 inch tv

Of course it can be repaired. Do U wanna spend the money?

The circuit board that is responsible for vertical deflection has an intermittent condition responsible for the anomaly. If you locate the board you might want to check for the signs of a faulty capacitor.

If all looks dynamite, checking for a bad cap can be an ordeal and maybe the best way to go is simply replace the board in question.
