So I've had this TV for a while now and I'm just getting around to trying to fix it. It has a bright white image right off the bat (as of now). Colors are normal and the image looks good, however the entire screen is washed out with white and subtle ghosting. I found a thread somewhere which someone claimed it was the long strips connecting the TCON to the LCD which were bowing and shorting out on the metal LCD frame. I took mine apart and found exactly that. They were bowed out, so I put electrical tape across them along with some padded spacers. Previously, before doing this, the image was polarized on top of being washed out. It's no longer polarized, but it is still washed out. I tried cleaning the LVDS cable but it didn't do any good. However, alternating the LVDS cable in and out of the plug on the main board will produce a brief clear picture, but it's frozen and fades out. ONLY ONCE upon turning the TV on without touching anything, the image turned from washed out to normal, but after about 5 seconds washed out again.
I've read about a bad IC chip on the TCON, but would that produce these results? The TCON is rather expensive and compared to the resale value of the TV, it would be a loss.
Pictures are attached. As you can see, text seems to 'hang around' on screen for quite awhile. If I turn off the TV and turn it back on it will go to a somewhat normal image but still has text/image from a sometime BEFORE it was turned off... So it's some how 'remembering' what was on screen in a certain area previously and underlaying the current image with it.
