There is a thick black vertical bar near the middle of the screen (See attached pictures). The TV repair guy said it will cost too much to fix.

Also, one of the RCA ports is missing the outer metal ring part and is possibly broken.
And the power cable had to be cut and re-joined for installation, it still works fine.

This is due to bad solder / dry solder on the LCD / plasma driver. Pretty common. Gently apply pressure above (or below) the black bar, where the black plastic border meets the screen.
 
I quite like the effect. It looks like you are watching TV through a window pane.
Maybe this is something that will catch on :)
