Sudden horizontal lines on laptop screen — external monitor works fine

My laptop ASUS TUF F15 FX507VV(out of warranty now) suddenly started showing horizontal lines all over the screen.

What happened:

- Laptop booted normally

- Screen turned off after being idle

- When I woke it back up, these lines appeared suddenly

Things I tested:

- Restarted multiple times

- Lines are visible even in BIOS

- Connected to TV via HDMI → external display is perfectly fine

- Moving the lid doesn’t change anything

Photo attached.

Does this look like:

- LCD panel failure?

- Display ribbon cable?

- Something else?

Also, is it worth repairing or replacing the screen?

Thanks.
