I have a HP DV7-6175US that has vertical lines on about 30% of the left side of the screen. you can see screen content through the lines. I have a perfect picture when I use the VGA or HDMI outputs. My question is this the cable or the screen??
I have a picture but can't figure out how to post it.......

Well you've pretty much answered your own question, it's the laptop monitor. There are things you might be able to try to fix it, but normally whats done is done. However, check this out; http://smallbusiness.chron.com/fix-vertical-lines-computer-screen-70710.html

If your laptop screen always has lines through it when it's on, regardless of the cable you use then it's obviously the laptop.
