Default H/V lines on LCD monitor

Hi,

I picked up a 15" Proview pro588 LCD PC monitor cheap; has flaws of
course. It has a few horizontal and vertical lines running straight
across the screen (entire row of pixels are non-functional) but other
than that, it displays input from a computer fine.

What would cause this? Someone told the LCD screen itself could be
making poor contact with the circuit board; is this true? TIA

Possibly a faulty zebra connector? Could be a SOB to fix.

I have never seen one of those on an LCD monitor. Most likely this is a
failure of one of the bonded driver chips on the panel. Not repairable.
