Definitely send it back for repair. This is almost certainly caused
by the LCD panel (would cost as much as a new TV to replace).


Would the manufacturer likely replace the TV rather than repair it if
the cost of the LCD panel is comparable?


There's only a few companies making LCD panels, so it really doesn't
matter which brand you buy. For all I know, your TV might have a
Sharp LCD panel. Other parts like the power supply do vary in
quality.


That's interesting....there seems to be so many varying degrees of
quality out there for LCD TVs, so if they likely have the same panel,
how can they have different ratings/reviews?
