    Probably not, but anyone know what the h--- these lines mean on my LCD:

    Background: Bought this Samsung LCD 8 years ago and it was a floor model. Got a really good deal on it so I have no issues buying a newer better TV. I work from home a lot so I've gotten a lot of mileage out of it, lines just popped up today. More interested on if this is something easy to fix, or if there's a place I can either trade it in or get cash for it, as is?

    When in doubt it could be dead pixels. Not sure how you would go about fixing them

    Does it go away when your tv is on for awhile? Or all the time

    Just happened an hour ago...tried different inputs, changed HDMI cords. Doesn't change if I turn it off and back on, or move it
