You can try Imgur.com or another picture sharing site if you wish.

The TV appears to be a LED model and there are now many Youtubes about LED backlight repair (if that's it.) But check warranty since the diagnosis and repair can be scary for most.

Certainly looks like the usual backlight failure.

There are some hundred Youtubes on how to fix it. But it's pretty advanced work and could be fatal to some that don't know their way around the electrical systems.

Get estimates.
