I have a small LG flat screen that is about 5 years old. It's in the bedroom and although it's turned off during the day, it typically runs all night.

It has started making a humming noise when turned on, and it has two horizontal lines (pink/purple) that slowly scroll.

Is the start of the thing dying?

HUGz! Jules

Really, with the prices so low now and the technology getting so much better all the time, 5 years is a loooong time to keep a TV. I'd just get a new one. I am really happy with my Panasonic. Just do not buy Westinghouse, they are real crap and the Better Business Bureau has them rated F for lack of service on warranty repairs.
