GH3 - stripes/light bands issue from LCD TV light

I was using my GH3 to record my mom watching TV and noticed some horizontal stripes/bands on the monitor and resulting footage.  I am hoping this isn't a defect of the camera.  Is this normal of the light emanating from an LCD TV screen?  Has anyone else run into this issue?  Would love to get some reassurance that this is normal characteristic from TV light.

Here's link to my footage.  You'll see the issue more clearly on the right side of the image.

Normal

TV video has a scan that refreshes the image.The video framerate and shutter speed that you're using is making the TV's video scan visible. You can get related effects shooting under fluorescent lights. Here's an article that covers these issues with image examples: http://provideocoalition.com/awilt/story/first_look_panasonic_lumix_dmc-gh3_dslm_hybrid_still_video_camera/
