Greetings, I'm new to this forum and I hope I need help with something that's hopefully not out of topic
So a couple of days ago I turned on my LCD TV after not using it for a couple of months (I changed room and in that room there's no cable connection and my procrastinator housemate that own the house never called the cable company until the other day >.<) and to my surprise the TV is all messed up now. The left half of the screen now has 4 vertical lines with different colors that wasn't there before. I'm not sure how this happened. I'm very sure when it was moved, my friend and I were very careful, the TV didn't hit anything on the way to the new room... Aside from accumulating dust, it had been sitting on its stand for the last couple of months... Is it possible that not turning it on for that long what caused this? Is there anyway to fix this? Would you recommend me taking it to something like bestbuy to fix it? (I know they grossly overcharge on fixing anything but sadly I haven't a clue of other place that fix electronics...) Pretty sure the TVs out of warranty since I got it 2 years ago from Walmart and I didn't buy the extended warranty from them.
I appreciate any help that anyone can give me, thanks
Btw: the model is proscan 42led55sa if it makes any difference, and I attach a screenshot below
