Could a failing LED Backlight Strip Kit cause the VIZIO V-SERIES 58-INCH (V585) to have symptom: Inch Tv Half Screen Dark?

The backlight LEDs are wired in series circuits; a failure of a single LED chip in a string creates an open circuit that disables all LEDs in that segment. Over-driving the LEDs at high brightness levels leads to thermal degradation of the junction, causing the 'half-dark' symptom when one bank of lights fails. Replacing the entire kit ensures uniform luminance and color temperature across the panel.

Could a failing Power Supply / LED Driver Board cause the VIZIO V-SERIES 58-INCH (V585) to have symptom: Inch Tv Half Screen Dark?

This board converts AC input to the DC voltage required by the LED strips. If one of the LED driver channels or electrolytic capacitors fails, it will cease to supply current to a specific zone of the backlight array. This is less common than strip failure but occurs if the driver circuit's pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller malfunctions.

Could a failing T-Con (Timing Controller) Board cause the VIZIO V-SERIES 58-INCH (V585) to have symptom: Inch Tv Half Screen Dark?

While primarily responsible for the image signal and pixel gate timing, the T-Con board coordinates with the backlight driver for local dimming. A synchronization failure or a partial short in the T-Con's voltage-level shifter could theoretically cause improper signal distribution to one side of the panel, though this usually manifests as distorted images rather than simple darkness.
