You may have multiple problems, one is the T-CON board and second can be due to unstable DC voltages.
You LCD TV works completely difference from Plasma TV, you only have one or two backlight inverter boards for back lights to light up the screen, the T-CON board drives the LCD panel for pictures.

Hello,

IF YOU HAVE A SOLID BLACK LINE RUNNING VERTICALLY THEN YOU HAVE A FAULTY MATRIX INVERTER. IF CENTRAL THE MAIN VERTICAL INVERTER NEEDS CHANGED. LEFT = LEFT VERTICAL INVERTER RIGHT=RIGHT.........

ANOTHER WAY TO GET THIS FAULT IS WORN OR DAMAGED RIBBON/PLASTIC GOING FROM THE SCREEN MATRIX TO THE INVERTER

Hope this help....

How do I fix my Visio tv when the screen suddenly goes almost black and white?

Hi Evan
Essentially it's a computer inside a modern Flat Screen TV these days. Not a lot that the average person can do...
But... if you feel capable of opening the back....
Once you get inside and check for loose or poor connectors,
I would be looking for leaky Electrolytic Capacitors.
Usually in the power supply section.
Look for brown fluid leaks on PCB & a very slightly puffed out or bowed top on the cap. (ready to explode)
Take a picture of suspect. Take note of Polarity (black stripe) & write down uf & voltage & temp values.
eg 1000uF @ 25v
To prove you are on the right track, you can connect a similar rated Cap across (in parallel) the existing Cap.
Depending on space etc. Even by short extension wires.
Power up & see results. Fault Gone or Not?
Then...
Unsolder & Remove suspect Cap & try to replace with higher voltage rating & slightly higher uf capacity depending on space available around the components.

Good Luck

The sound you heard came from one of the IC's under the heat sinks. Check the fuses on the left and right print, the print with the broken fuse must be replaced.

No picture -- white screen -- no sound

With no video and the the colored stripes, it sounds like the LVDS cable needs to be reconnected to the LCD control board or the control board itself is bad. If the unit is only 3-4 months old, it should be covered by warranty
