Frustrating Picture Issues - Horizontal Blue Lines

I have a Toshiba 46H83 that is only about three years old. For the last several months multiple thin horizontal blue lines across the entire screen from top to bottom have appeared, typically when first turned on. On occasion they will go away but lately the lines are more intense and they are always somewhat visible. There are now only moments of clarity. I have pulled the screen and cleaned the lenses and saw no real issues, nor did it have any affect on this issue. I have noticed that the lines are affected by vibration, if I tap lightly on the top of the set it may clear up for a short time, but most likely will re-appear. This problem is present regardless of inputs; digital cable, DVD, VCR, ECT. I have tried different power supplies also with no luck. I have called the only qualified service outfit in town with a response we can come look at it for a fee. What I would like to know if anyone has seen this issue before? Is there something I can do to fix it or investigate further? Is it worth paying a field service tech to come look at it? Or do I need to cut my losses and buy a new TV? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I have had this TV for about 4 years, I recently started to have this problem with the light blue lines as well. starting from Rt bottom corner moving upwards. I have tried adjusting all my cables in case one was not in all the way, but no luck. Very frustrating indeed!
