    It displays image very blurry first(like bad resolution) when tv is turned ON and even can not even read something written on screen, but after few minutes, image gets clear as normal.

    blurred down? Like a color band from top to bottom? or distorted colors? may be the screen, not repairable. Still under warranty?

    My 5 year old Sony Bravia LCD 52" is doing that aoso and then the picture clears up beautifully after the set warms up. I called the Alterman Audio and TV company where I bought it and the owner told me that the panel needs to be changed and that it is expensive. He told me to check with Sony to see if there was a recall on the panel otherwise I would do better to buy a new tv instead of trying to fix the one that I hve. I will keep my tiv till it poops out completely and buy a different brand, Norman Hingle form Kenner La.

My KDL-52W4100 just started doing the same thing. It blurs down the right side of the screen, then goes back to normal after it warms up. Does anyone know whats up with this?

    Unfortunately the warranty company went out of business.... Took everyones money, then closed down... I learned my lesson with buying off the internet from these places that have the "best price." I also learned to live with the blur until it warms, after all its only 15 min's until it clears up so I just leave it on all day. Once this set dies, I will buy a SAMSUNG from a major retailer.

Any warranty left on the set? Still sounds like the LCD panel or the video driver board...very expensive.

This is a defective panel and not worth repair. It's the connections on the lcd sheet ribbon cables and can't be reattached by regular soldering. I have seen this many times.

What component should I get to fix my Samsung LCD TV?

HI,
Probably the t con broad is faulty. t con board id the on which drives the LDC panel. I some tvs its not possible to replace the T con board as it would be integrated to the LCD panel normally in 32 inches and bellow. In others i would be separate board which is replaceable individually. I have added a video to know how to locate a t con board which is replaceable individuality. As you didn't mentioned the model number its not possible to add the exact image. In all most all the tvs T con Board (individuality replaceable one ) will be placed on the top center of the tv cover with a metal shield. If its incinerated to the LCD panel then inside the LCD protection metal chassis. Check and fin which one you have.

46 inch Sony flat panel lcd has vertical red and green lines down right side of screen and you can be watching tv and picture will go right out and leave grayish blank screen until restart. Black...

If the screen works for a short while and then completely fails once the TV warms up you have a problem with the main unit video board or the LCD control logic board. Most often if the picture cuts out but audio continues to work the logic board is over heating and should be replaced. However if the picture cuts out and audio shuts off as well then its your video input board.

Vertical line on LCD TV Panel

Had this same issue on right side of 52" about 1 inch from side but had 3 vertical lines that disappeared after 40 minutes. Have Samsung LNT5265FX/XXA and about 16 months old. LCD Panel itself had to be replaced to fix it, fortunately had extended service plan

Picture appears to be cracked

It is cracked. Maybe not the first layer, but for sure the lcd is cracked. This is the reason why you found it on the garbage. The lcd panel is way more expansive like the tv itself. You can sell it on ebay for parts.
