Can't seem to find an exact answer anywhere. Assumed damage to bottom left corner (dense ball of colors). TV is pretty much done for?

I would believe this is also caused by screen damage and would need to be repaired too fix the issue

Hello there, and thank you for reaching out to our community. I definitely understand your concern regarding the lines on the screen. First you will need to confirm via picture test if the lines on the screen is permanent by disconnecting all cables from the TV itself and following the steps below (depending on TV menu options available):

1) Settings > Support > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test 

2) Menu > Settings > All Settings > Support > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test

or 

3) Settings > All Settings > Support > Self Diagnosis > Picture Test

Service will be required if the lines are visible on screen at the end of the picture test, screen damage verified and/or the picture test option is unavailable and you can set that up by using this link- https://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/.
