Unforunately this is a bad panel and it's time to buy a new set. There is a thermal connection on the top corner of the LCD panel. When the picture is dark on one side and the video is slow to move, you can place your hands ot both top corners of the TV and push with your right hand and pull with the left hand and you may actually see the picture clear up. This repair is over $1000.
