Did you contact them already?

Generally yes. But that doesn't necessarily mean that this will solve your
current problem.

The TFT Displays I've seen fade slowly their colors and settle with
some line or block artefacts or flash when they are not clocked properly.
If you let them that way for some time (several hours) the liquid
crystal stuff gets polarized (or whatever effect that is) and the stripes
will stay forever. Check that the clocking fits to the datasheet.
