Greetings My Television Brother From Another Mother! As for your television it truly & deeply saddens me to hear that you are having horizontal line problems with such a wonderful piece of television technology.
Loose, damaged or faulty display connections are often the culprit of horizontal screen lines. Sometimes, unplugging and replugging your HDMI, VGA, or display cable will fix the problem. If reseating your input cable doesn't get rid of the horizontal lines, replacing the cable may do the trick.
If checking all the cables, settings & unplugging it for ten minutes doesn’t work down the road maybe you can visit someone technology savvy or a television repair shop & they can have a look at it & check out the ribbon cables inside.
I wish you the best of luck troubleshooting buddy.

  It’s a great television & being that it’s getting older just be careful you don’t bump it & if you don’t have your electronics on a surge protector that might be a good investment.

  With all honesty it is an old tv & I have one from 2007 that is older. As for the girl who said it is old you have to admit she is right. I remember you saying you have two tv’s so you can always switch to that one if needed.

  A good set of HDMI cables is always a good thing & sometimes HDMI ports get lose so you can always switch another HDMI port.

  New or old as long as it still works that is all that matters.

  If your television is still lasting or has lasted this long it’s a good year.

  They don’t make stuff like they used to & in 2010 they made good stuff & your television too. I have two Sony televisions, one is from 2007 & the other one for 2017.

That's an old TV, I don't think it's worth to bring it to repair. You could try to tap gently around TV frame if it's a connector oxidation issue and reset this TV.

It's broken and would cost more to fix than buying a new one.

Try rebooting it. You have to unplug it from the wall And let it sit until the capacitors discharge. Several minutes.

It’s gone to plaid, might need a new screen, so it’s probably not worth even fixing

  Well, if it doesn’t have the lines normally it seems like a decent TV but 15 years old so I would probably just get another one if it keeps doing it.

  As for his wonderful tv he didn’t redline it & although something did happen it’s back from the dead & it’s working again. In 2010 they made some really good TV’s @Redpowerranger98 yours included.

  The screen is messed up, you can try and have someone fix the screen for you. You can also choose to just keep using it like that.
  But, tbh. I would just get a new one! Unless you can get a better deal with fixing it, you should try that first but forsure a new one would be good
