Homer Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The picture turned a bit "funny" last night and now it's like this all the time. Same thing on Sky or PS3 (different cables). I've also tried hitting it, that didn't help. The picture has problems displaying black in particular (see the sides of the screen in the pic) anyone know if this is terminal?

Scott Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I can't say for sure but that doesn't look good at all. Seems like a processing error to be honest (picture is complete with wierd colours), would suggest terminal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 1 suggestion, if you haven't already, reset all the defaults on everything. Also have a look online and see if there is a "hard" reset option available that automatically defaults everything and clears everything.

RedM Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Is that one of those new helicopters with 'Predator' camouflage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Looks like your looking at that chinook/helicopter through Predator's eyes, in that thermal imaging sort of sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thats a strange 1 , have you tried unplugging from the power for a minute or so? Yeah, I left if off overnight in case it was heat related (It's always run a bit hot), but same thing today I'd thought this was terminal, but thanks for the replies. Could do without this at the moment, I was hoping to fix the clutch on the supra but that's going to have to wait another month now! Had a quick look down Currys this evening, found 37, 40 and 42in LG's LCD's at £329 each. Might have to try the 37, don't fancy anything too big in the living room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Theres some belting deals in Sainsburys, 40" 1080p LCD, think it was Samsung, for 379 on Sunday. As mentioned earlier in the thread, I found some a fair bit cheaper than that. Currys have a clearance on at the moment, 37, 40 and 42in LCD 1080p's for £329 each. LG, Samsung and JVC so should be fairly decent. I don't use it for gaming so not after anything high end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 right if there is no way of taking it back then open it up and start looking for dry solder joints think of it this way if you get no joy it was going in the bin anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookey Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Which Currys is that at fella? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Now, to think up a suitably interesting death for this TV Do a fast and furious jobbie on it, but instead of the roof, just launch the tv instead:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Which Currys is that at fella? The one next to the stadium off J11. Edit - just realised it's Comet, not Currys !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'm afraid your TV has got psychedelic syndrome .... there's nothing we can do for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I think it will be repairable mate and very simple to. I had almost the same image problems with mine just after christmas but all dark colours were being displayed as red. It turned out to be 1 loose wire running from the PCB where the HDMI connects to the main PCB behind the screen. 10 second fix for someone who knows their way around the inside of TV's.

caseys Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Again I go back to the EU Sale of Goods Act chap if it's less than 6 years old and you have the receipt... you could then buy a clutch. Otherwise I think it's a great time to buy a 37-42 1080p LCD as it seems to be that transition point where LEDs are getting cheap enough on average (but then you really need to buy a soundbar!) Don't buy anything top of the line, next big thing after faddy (and horrible) 3D I hope will be proper 21:9 aspect TVs like the phillips I have then you can watch hi-def movies without the letterbox aspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
