TV LED screen suddenly dark and discolored on one side

Samsung 65" LED TV (UN65F8000BFXZA) suddenly went dark on one side - have tried 'flexing' the TV per other suggestions online but does not improve. There is a gradual loss of brightness and color now from roughly the middle of the screen all the way across to the right, with the screen becoming darker (gradient or 'ombre' effect...). Colors show but are dull or incorrect (e.g. what used to be a white box on the right is now pink or yellow). The TV is 2.5 years old and was a flagship model at the time so wasn't cheap! Trying to determine whether there's any point in trying to repair or just cut losses and buy new.

@teaks looks like either a T-con board issue or a panel issue (less likely). I'd repalce the T-con vboard and re-evlauate. If it is the panel, then there is no economical way of fixing it. Panels are very pricey and will cost you more than a new TV.

For anyone having similar issues, i had something that looked a lot like this where the colours were very off on one side (almost like it was on super high contrast where most things were much darker but some of the other colours were more stronger) and looking closely to the side which was working, it still had a "fuzz" on some of the lines as if the fault was bleeding from the bad side to the other...

in my case, after taking the back panel off, flipping it around and then taking the frame off from teh screen, i could tell that there was a chip in the glass on one of the corners which had disconnected one of the signals to the side of the tv (technically disconnected the signal to the "cof").

I tried alot of different things to reconnect it, including scratching off the test point on the cof and checking voltages etc....

in the end, i ripped off the cofs on the bad side (theres a special way to do this where you use the hair dryer to peal it off.... this was very extreme, if i could have gotten the datasheet for the cofs then wouldnt need to rip it. Also, this method relies on the fact that the other side cofs are perfectly working (this isnt always the case as the left and rigth side kidn of hides each others flaws.....)....

in my case it worked, but then i had done another crack on the top left side in the process.... this caused other issues where the screen then looked like the netflix intro screen (its like the top row of the picture had extended all the way down, hiding parts of the propper picture and washing it out, very artistic....)

after this issue, i was able to rig up a 9v battery and a diode, connected ground to the metal frame, and the positive (after the diode) to the etst points on the cof. One of the etst points had measured -5v which didnt look right (the vgl should be -7v and that was there on the other test points, -5v isnt a signal) so connected the positive to that and the picture fixed itself perfectly (and was working completely across the whole screen)..... so..... long story short, i reapplied the lgh signal from the address/buffer board to the cof (they call it a cof bypass) and now the tv works perfectly with the exception of the bad "line" associated to the crack i accidently caused myself... can only blame myself....

anyway, heres afew links that ultimately highlights what i did (links are to other peoples videos) as words are always hard to visualise



VGH cof bypass (you can use a 9v battery to test / supply power to the cof rather then risk the tv powersupply if you get a short)

Cof removal from the bad side (last resort / make sure tour panel has cof on both sides before removing one of the sides.... if the panel only has cofs on one side, you will just be destroying the panel)

cof fix to left hanbd side after removing right hand side cofs in order to fix the signal loss from the extra cracked corner of screen (LGH signal was missing) i created
