I think my television may be broken beyond repair, but someone elses opinion would be handy. It was working fine and dandy, then one day I plug it in, switch it on, and this happens:

Now I always try to figure out things by narrowing down what it could be. So gradually I unplug the xbox, the dvd player, and the virgin tv box. Turn it off, and on again each time. Then, when the only thing thats plugged into it is the power supply for the tv, it looks like this:

And just to clarify, it looks grey, but when you go up close there are small vertical coloured lines in the pattern. Here's a picture:

Should I start shopping for a new tv? Any help at all would be really appreciated :csad:
 
That looks like a damaged LCD screen, most likely caused by a faulty panel/controller or a loose ribbon/cable. BTW a new lcd panel/controller is not cheap.

It's time to upgrade.
