The news is bad.

That looks like a damaged LCD panel. You didn't state the size but a 40 to 50 inch panel seems to run about 500+ dollars and you have yet to get into repair. No one on the internet teaches TV repair. You can find Youtubes on doing this or that but when you see that sort of LCD failure it's the end.

I'm no TV tech but that looks like physical damage to me. Maybe the OP can share if someone or a pet had access while they were on vacation.
