55" LG LED Dark streak after moving apartments.

[AhThe2nd]

I recently moved into a new community about 3 hours away from my old one and I packed up my TV fairly well (I thought) and when I finally got it set up and plugged in there is a very noticeable dark streak on the screen permanently. I feel as if something must have pressed against the screen but I can't see how it could have happened.

Any help as to what can be done, or a diagnosis would be appreciated. I'm hoping the fix can somehow be done at home as I've read that screen repair is outrageously expensive and most times not worth it.

I have attached a picture of the streak. It's extremely visible on a white screen, as pictured, but not as noticeable on a black or dark screen.

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Though I know the outcome is not in my favour.

Hi
welcome to the forums

yup the LCD panel does look damaged, and if so there isn't much you could do about it
buying a replacement panel would probably be more expensive than what the TV originally cost

Sigh, that's what I figured. I guess I can live with it. I'm not very materialistic normally but this TV was the one thing I owned that I really liked. Oh well.

Thanks for the response Davenn.
