The issue with TVs isn't that they can't be repaired; the LCD usually costs as much as an entire TV :/. Even when the TV is current, the panel tends to be a "total loss" failure.... It gets worse when they become last years model, without fail.

It gets worse when they become last year's model, without fail. Unless it's an LED array failure you can recover from with a set of donor strips, I've never seen anyone successfully repair a TV with panel issues.

Your best bet is to take the TV apart and look up the panel number; you might get lucky. That said, TVs are generally not costeffective to do panel replacements on and you're usually better off selling the parts that still work to offset the replacement cost.
