In your opinion, what would it cost me to repair my Samsung 40" LED TV -- UN40B6000? It looks as if I need
a new display panel installed.

Buy another set. The panels cost more to replace than the entire set does
new... :-/

How did you come to this conclusion? What is the problem with the TV? Please
describe the problems with the tv. Maybe someone here can help you without
replacing the panel.

If the display is dim, the problem is probably the backlight, not the
panel itself. If you can find the backlight tube and/or power supply
to purchase, it's not impossible to replace. However, it's not a
first-time electronics repair project - more along the lines of
rebuilding a 4 barrel carburetor in the days before nearly all
engines had fuel injection.

Thought LED TVs use LEDs as backlights? And if a few fail...

Barring physical damage to the LCD panel itself (ie, hit by Wii
controller) it should be unnecessary to replace the panel. What you
have described in one of your replies sounds like a bad T-conn board.
