Please see video of the actual problem - https://youtu.be/U_M9UYRIbGQ This happens on any input source and also on live or paused video. I made sure all ribbon cables were secure and didn't notice any blown or leaking capacitors on the power supply and main board. Is it possible the LCD panel is just going bad?

The fact that the screen illuminates properly and does not stay absolutely pitch black means that the backlights are working properly.
A faulty LCD Controller Board (or TCon board for short) could possibly cause the symptoms you describe. The Tcon board is usually located under its own RF shield and will have a large braided steel multiwire cable coming into the bottom of the board and several flat ribbon cables connected to the top by little plastic flip up connectors. A replacement board can be purchased on Ebay for around $70 plus shipping. See the following link for one example:

Just use your mouse to click on the link, which is the underlined and highlighted text just above. This will open a new web browser page automatically for you and allow you to view the item information at the website indicated.
Just don't buy any that say AS IS for their description of condition. That is EBay speak for broken.
Make sure they say TESTED FULLY WORKING in the item description.
The best way to be sure you are getting the right part is to open up your set and check the part number that is printed directly on the circuit board itself. Then look that part number up on the internet or type that number into the EBay search box.
Just typing in the model number of your TV will sometimes give you a few different part numbers so you have to confirm which part is in your particular set.
Make sure any part that you order online has exactly the same part number as the one you are replacing. Sometimes it it just the last few digits that are different and it can make a difference.

Check the LVDS cable that connects its T'Con board to display panel for any loose fitting at the both end of its sockets. Re-seat them once and check. This is not a problem with any capacitors.

Compare them to that of your TVs' and make sure. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Pull up previous posts there, either by its left side bar,
