Default Free 50' Vizio TV with Vertical lines

TV always worked great until today when it started displaying vertical lines. I know nothing about fixing tv's so I bought a new one. If you want it text me 352-874-3161.

I had the same issue years ago…. They are not worth repairing so don’t even think about it. If you are looking for a used working TV for a low price there are always several advertised on here. Older TV’s have much better speakers and sound.

Most people don't realize, when you buy a $400 TV it's a throw-away after a couple of years if you use it.

Yes, but sometimes it’s fun to look on the internet and YouTube to see if there is a simple fix before putting in the dump. This TV was only 6 years old and the last one I had cracked the back on and replaced a main board was at the 5 year mark and it gave up the ghost after 5 more so ten total with a little help.
