Hi! Thank you for using Just Answer today! My name isXXXXX am happy to help you with this! Please bear with me and be patient as sometimes these issues take a little bit of figuring out before we know what's wrong. If you could give me some more information it will be very helpful:

-What is the model number for the television? (this can be found on the back of the unit)
-How old is the unit?
- Do you have this problem while watching all different devices hooked to this television? (DVD player, cable, satellite, game counsel, etc.)


Please give me this information and I will be happy to assist you further.
Thank you,
Tim Nolan

If you push the MENU button on the tv, does the menu show in front or behind the lines?

It shows behind the lines.

Sounds like you are describing a bad LCD panel here, which would be very bad news. To be sure though, are you able to post me a picture of the problem?
(if you can post a picture, please click the icon above, where you are typing, of the paper clip. This will allow you to upload a picture)

Ok I do have the pictures, sorry to say but you are looking at a bad LCD panel here. The problem is the part alone is about the cost of a new tv. I wish I had better news for you but this will not be repairable due to cost.


Sorry for the bad news, I am sure you were hoping for an easier fix.
