@bubbajay "picture fades in toward the center" this is the part that is worrisome. It is not a common error but seems to originate either on your main board or on your panel. Check the LVDS cables going to your panel. Check for tears and corrosion. Next check for obviously overheating/damaged components on the the "long, skinny" boards that connect via multiple ribbon cables to the LCD. Those are the driver boards and the error can originate on those. The other thing to check is the memory and the processor on your main board. Check for overheating on that as well. You can always try some freeze spray and once your TV displays those symptoms, spray on the main board and see if that restores it. Try the same on your driver boards.
