What brand is it? Did you change modes? Does it have warranty? To me it seems like your LED is made up of two square panels, i might be wrong.

I believe the screen maybe applying color correction etc only on one side of the panel [like it does in "Demo" mode]. To make sure this is not the problem, you should switch off all Extra screen enhancement features.

Try turning off all extra TV features for screen quality.

Turn on Game mode

Switch the source to DVI PC or similar since PC and DVI mode turns the TV more into a regular computer monitor and all extra video features are turned off.


See if you still face the dual screen issue.

Also - try to update the firmware if possible.

Tried everything checked the firmware update its not available i use the TV with HDMI and I am getting the same problem.

Now i am thinking that it might be a hardware issue some malfunction inside the TV... :(

What I meant to say was eventhough you are using HDMI, it should have some form of option in the menu to chose what type of HDMI it is. Such as Cable, DVD, BluRay, PC/Computer, etc.

I get that option on my Samsung ES7500 LED. If I rename my HDMI connection to PC DVI, or plain DVI, the TV turns off all extra video enhancement features and keeps it to basic.

Anyway I did a quick google search and it turns out that half screen issue is quiet common. Mostly people get half dead screen or lines on one side or completely incorrect colors etc. so it seems to me that this could be a sign of defect or hardware issue which can not be solved normally (I'm guessing you did a complete power cycle by disconnecting all wires on the TV and waited for 15 minutes until reconnecting).

Therefore I'd recommend you to sell it off - no need to repair it if you are not in warranty. Considering your problem isnt easily noticeable, you maybe able to find a buyer who is willing to live with it.


Buy a Samsung then :D

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
