    Whoever had it before me I suppose. It was missing some screws so I knew it had been taken apart already. I never reassembled it completely until last night.

          BREAKING NEWS!!!

          I took it apart again lol.. everything was great except the top part of the screen had shadowing and I just couldn't settle with it. I took it apart again and religiously taped down the reflector, somehow STILL missing one corner, however I'm satisfied enough that I do not feel the need to open it again before and after pictures are attached.

          And this is at 55% backlight! This TV actually has a gorgeous picture for what it is!

            So now, after a couple of months use, I'm greeted with a white vertical line 😟. This looks to be a panel issue as it's common with Vizios... However, last week I picked up the same exact model or if the trash minus smart features. My question is, should I immediately switch the panels, or should I try something else?

              Just for anyone's future reference, I swapped the panel out and it's good as new now.

                which is easier... switching all the cards or switching the panel?

                  In this case switching the panel because I put brand new backlights in mine just before the the panel messed up. The donor had bad LEDs.
