I have an interesting issue with my TV. When turning on "cold" (been in standby for a few hours), the screen comes on with red "splotches" that flicker for a while until it warms up. After it warms up, the splotches are gone.

I've done a factor reset, but the problem exists even when booting with the logo shown on the screen; you can see some red "artifacts" flickering on the silver/white Vizio boot logo.
[LIST][*]All inputs work (with sound) but I didn't test the VGA input (I don't have a source that old anymore)[*]Menus work and "flow"...

New here.

I'm an IT guy (data analytics and infrastructure) that got into the component level of things. I have fixed a couple of TVs and some ATX power supplies (bad caps all) and now I'm trying to repair a 55inch TV.

I think I missed my calling.
