You don't give any details of the make/model so this is just a guess.
The backlight on many modern TVs is made up of strings of LEDs in series. If one LED fails open the entire string goes dark.
Your TV might have 2 strings of backlight LEDs, one on the left and one on the right, and the left string may have stopped working (likely due to one of the LEDs failing). You can check for this by shining a torch at the left side of the screen and looking carefully for the picture. If you can see it is actually there, it may just be unlit.
If this is the case it should be fairly easily repairable, although some models are easier/cheaper to repair than others.

That could be a number of things. Possible ribbon cable loose or sweep or memory board faulty. Also I would not rule out a break on the screen. Good luck

SOURCE: sony KP-53XBR45 convergence

Hey, found the problem. Your Convergence IC chip went bad. Buy one at Bluestar International Components (bluestar-online.com) - order part number STK392-010 for 6.99. I've read that there are two in the system and replacing them both at same time is a good idea...so, order 2. Now, if you are handy, it will require you to open the back of the TV and solder out the old chip and replace with new. If not, then you might as well call a TV repair person and have them fix. However, every place I've called works on a minimum fee for "large screen TVs" - the cheapest I could find in Atlanta was $399 minimum service fee. So, I'm going to risk the home sodering job .... it's a 10 year old TV and as good as it's been to me, if I screw it up, I feel I've gotten my money out of it. Good luck with your repair. My parts are on order.

SOURCE: dark area on right side of screen, just showed

I am Brasilian and i don't speak english very well, so sory. A friend had the same problem,and other friends too.

The mirrors and the Color Wheel of the Infocus sp4805 are atached with fragility by glue that with the high temperature and humidity deteriorates. The detachment of the color wheel or the mirrors drivers of light produce dark spots. It is easy to solve. Just paste again, but should be done by specialized professional.

Hey Steve,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you have a bad LCD panel tab. There are videos on youtube that show you how to repair this but they are temporary in nature.

Half the screen isa dark, left side

Most likely you have a faulty LCD panel tabs. This can be verified sometimes by turning set on and tapping or squeezing the top left side of the TV. The only true fix is to replace the panel. I've been told that Samsung may offer to replace the panel or give you a discount on a new TV. Samsung is know to have LCD panels with premature tab failure. So it may be worth while to contact Samsung and see what they can do for you. There are videos on youtube that show case the problems and show you how to patch the problem. just type in "LCD panel tab" in the youtube search box.

Left side is dark and right side is good

The LCD sets use backlights and also a pair (some models combine both into one unit) of inverters- one drives left side and the other right side.

You could have a bad inverter (some versions call it T-con) or even a bad display panel(main screen unit).

In most cases this is not a do it yourself repair.

Brighter display on the left side of monitor than the other side

Sounds like the lcd screen might be going bad. There are no display settings that can modify parts of the screen. It's all or nothing as far as settings go. Have you tried hooking up an external monitor to see if it displays correctly? If it shows correctly on an external monitor the problem is definitely with the lcd screen. If they both show the same image of brightness on the left side, then your video card in the laptop might be going bad.
