Short of taking a multimeter to the physical connections on the LCD display assembly and the MB (because I don't own a multimeter yet), I did everything logical to isolate and diagnosis the problem. What I did was first see if an external display showed the same vertical problem. I connected both the VGA and HDMI connections to said external display and the result was no lines. Unless in mistaken, that should rule out the GPU/MB our at least those physical connections. I then powered down and took out the battery, and started to disassemble the display. I get to the connection that goes from the display to the MB and disconnected it then reconnected it. I put everything back together and powered up the computer. The lines are still there. This leads me to believe that it's either a sensor on the LCD display or one of the connections from the LCD display to the MB.

As for the warranty, yup I got this laptop a little under a year ago so both the original and extended warranty had expired. If the steps I took to troubleshoot this problem are sound and I didn't overlook anything, I feel I can easily fix this problem myself. Since my original display is 1600x900, I figured I might s well spend the extra $10 and get a glossy 1920x1080 display Assembly. I just don't want to run into any snags that I might not be able to fix myself.

Perhaps a little history may help as well. I had a similar problem with the display, I had a blue hue/distortion. Luckily out was still under warranty and Asus did fix it.

I apologize for any spelling errors because I'm posting this from my phone

If you purchased the laptop a little under a year ago, wouldn't there still be a warranty on it? All of our notebooks are given at least one year. You should definitely make sure because it is something that we can take care of for you. The issue might actually be due to the connection cable and not the display. If you can get a hold of one, grab a DMM and test the connections and cable to be sure.

In the end, if you are comfortable and don't mind spending the money, it's definitely worth a shot; especially if your warranty is, indeed, expired. What Pitcher meant up there is that we cannot guarantee that it'll work, though.

By a little less than a year ago, I mean like May 18th. I don't see spending more than 100 dollars on something I can confidently do on my own. I may take your advice and get a digital multimeter and see if it is actually the LCD display or the cable/MB

Yeah but the problem started like the day that it the warranty ended.

That's besides the point, I was inquiring if what I want to do is possible

UPDATE

I decided and got the glossy 1920x1080 LCD screen. I was able to take the old screen out and put the new one in with little fuss. Everything works great and there's a noticeable difference between the 1600x900 matte display and the 1920x1080 glossy.

So to reiterate, if you want to upgrade your G75VW screen resolution, it's totally possible. Just for reference, I have a G75VW-TS71 and it worked for that model. I don't know if it would work with yours so if you do decide proceed with caution.

Where's the "like" button? Congrats on your new display!
