TV screen melted?

[Cynestal]

The side of the tv has a black mark, the platic cover has moved to the rigbt and like gone brown, and there is a very slight dark line going down the tv. Any idea how this could have happened?

Had a candle too close to it?

No, nothing, and there hasn't been any sun to even heat it, it's been a thunderstorm all day.

Blown capacitor, Short Circuit, static build-up maybe since there's a thunderstorm nearby and lightning is just caused by tons and tons of static electricity. Other than that not a clue, also I'm not a professional or know nearly as much about electronics as a lot of people on this forum. On a forgotten note it could have also just overheated in that area.

To be honest, it does not look like it's melted.

What is the screen type?

It is an IPS panel.

 

I'm definitely no expert, but this kind of thing is usually the result of physical damage, or a manufacturing defect.

If it is a new TV. it might be worth trying to claim warranty.
