Chosen Solution
I have a 80 in Sharp smart tv model number LC-80UQ17U. There is horizontal lines that move in a upward direction on the tv and the color on the tv is distorted. Would a defective T-con be causing this? What other information could help diagnose the issue? When I mess around with the settings like the Hertz I’m able to make the lines less noticeable and the color is also slightly better. I was able to get the screen to work but noticed there is a small thin black line that goes about half way across the screen. It’s near the bottom left side in photo
@sheldonmanitoba, If your television has image distortion issues, see the Insignia NS-24ER310NA17 Has Image Distortion problem page for possible causes and solutions. Would a defective T-con be causing this? No. T-con board is not responsible for horizontal lines but a bad T-con board can be the issue for this ‘the color on the tv is distorted.’ Horizontal lines are usually caused by the driver board which is actually part of the panel. Check for loose wires etc. When you say the line moves up, is it like the old TV that had vertical hold error where the whole screen slowed moved horizontally, or is it just the line?
