What might be the problem of the below linked images lcd tv

how to solve this problem -
1. Is this screen problem or
2. Display power inverter problem
 
KIndly help me out to find the issue

It sounds like a phasing problem - its a simple fault to fix, but not simple
to find the part.
 
Usually; the phase is sampled from a winding on the horizontal transformer.
There's usually a high resistor in series with that signal on its way to the
horizontal oscillator. If that's in a chip - its usually easy to trace the
path to the transformer.
 
Another possibility is the scan energy recovery system, the left to centre
part of the scan is driven by recovered energy - the horizontal transistor
drives from centre to RHS, the energy is recovered at the end of that. A
fault there usually causes cramping (horizontal linearity) but early onset
faults can distort the waveform back to the phase discriminator.

Maybe; the video MODE information never gets confused when the ID pins
are read, but if those AREN'T in use, the video output and the sync signals
might be misinterpreted as the entirely wrong sync rate, or resolution. The
description of the picture being offcenter of the screen does sound like a
mode mismatch between monitor and video 'card'.
 
So, the monitor walks the picture off the left screen edge at 5 milliseconds, but
the picture isn't completely sent until 8 milliseconds. The monitor just
decided on the wrong horizontal sweep rate.
 
In the early days of multisync monitors, Apple and IBM and third parties all did
the timing according to whims. Adaptation was a BIG issue.

Very good.

Of course, why else would I suggest it? I haven't fixed CRT monitor
for at least 6 years. I didn't even know that there were re-cap kits
available for CRT monitors. However, if it's anything like LCD
monitors, replacing the caps will usually do the trick. Electrolytics
don't last forever.
 
You might need to look into replacing the flyback if you can't get any
hi-V and the rest of the horizontal sweep circuitry seems to be ok.
Hard to tell from here.
 
Also, CRT's are potentially dangerous and can zap you without much
provocation. Attach a clip lead to a big INSULATED screwdriver,
ground the lead to the frame, and discharge the CRT tube before diving
into the circuitry. Remember, you have but one life to give to your
profession.

Never thank me before it's working. Bad luck and all that.

When my buddy was in the vending business, I repaired several hundred of his monitors, many just like this one. I seem to recall a horiz phase adjustment on the main board. Sometimes just tweaking this pot would lock in the picture.
 
If the board has never been recapped, it's time to do this. Go to Digikey and select low ESR high hour caps (I prefer Panasonic) and shotgun the board.
