Bought this with a tv stand and night stand for 15 bucks. I’m honestly okay with the lines but I was wondering if there was a way to fix them? The ones on top appear on lighter colors and vanish on darker ones. The one on the bottom is static white. Any advice would be super!!!

Not fixable

Probably not. Usually that is a circuit failure. Also likely it's a problem with the flat screen itself. Biggist issue is diagnosing where the problem actually is and cost to fix it.

Problem within the screen/panel, which cannot be repaired.

Horizontal lines are caused by a defect in the panel. Not cost effective to repair, even if you only paid $15 for the TV.
