Question Are these lines easily repairable? LG 34WQ500

[DeusRex]

This monitor(LG 34WQ500) is for sale in my area at a bargain. Apparently after 4 hours of use horizontal lines appear on the bottom of the screen.
Anyone have any ideas what this could be and if it's worth buying and fixing?

no

no

straight to the point. Ill take it that means theres a good reason for it not being worth it.

Assuming it is not a cable issue, the monitor is dead.

RUN.

 

[DeusRex]

haha awesome. Thanks for the quick responses. Out of curiosity, what could have caused the issue?

 

[helpstar]

might be the tcon Board (usually 25 to 50 bucks), but could be the panel itself as well

 

[chillhouse1]

might be due to other electronic gadgets (cellular phones, cordless telephones, rotating fanatics) which can be too near the monitor or by means of devices plugged into the same circuit because the monitor, also try change cables..

I'd go with @helpstar's answer.

Since I'm an electronics design engineer, I'd take the back off and when the fault appears, go hunting for duff components on the pcbs with a can of freezer spray and a hair drier.

Not much point if it's the display itself. It's not a good idea to freeze display panels.

Don't try this at home if you're not a skilled technician or an engineer. We don't want to read your obituary.

He doesn't own it. It is simply for sale, cheap.
