I got this TV used a year ago. It worked perfectly after I replaced an IC in the SMPS. About a month ago, the picture suddenly started exhibiting several different problems. There is noise throughout the picture, in a mostly horizontal pattern. There are vertical streaks above and below anything bright in the picture. When the video fades to black during a scene change, all of the noise and streaks go away. The picture looks just as bad with the TV's internally generated test patterns.
