To determine if you have a provlem with the LCD screen or the video card, connect an external monitor to the laptop's video port and power up the monitor first and then the laptop. The video will divert automatically to the external monitor. If you get a normal Windows image on the monitor then the fault is with the LCD screen, if not then the fault is a faulty video card.

New lcd installed in satellite l505, started out fine, as it warmed up a single vertical line appeared about 3 in from left, will occasionally disappear, but comes back in same spot after a few minutes,...

Yes, this unfortunately is the beginning of the end of the LCD screen, you see the "Driver Circuit Transistors" are starting to go faulty... this is a very common problem, occasionally, it may be the Video card, you will have to "monitor"...(pun intended), the situation. If it continues, as I expect, and lines appear down across, the screen that never go away, and are RED or BLUE or GREEN, then it is most definitely the LCD itself, if however they go away come back in differing places, then it is more likely the Video card. replacement is the only fix sorry. I would wait until it is unbearable before you do anything.

There is just three lines that show red, green and blue.

It has been my experience with Sonys that those three colored lines indicate that the set is having trouble with the data communication lines. The hitch is that a model as complex as that one has as many as five seperate clock/data lines and if any one of them goes down the set will exhibit your symptom. It will take a professional to track down which line is causing the problem. I've seen audio output IC's as well as tuners cause the problem.

Vertical lines appear on screen...

You have a defective light engine. Contact RCA support. Sometimes they will warranty these even after the 1yr warranty has expired.

Blue line down right hand side of screen

If you are confident enough to open screen bezel and take out screen , then the second strap from right of your screen has a bad connection. theses cannot be repaired but as a tempory measure some duct tape across the connections will cure it, else replace the screen.
