My LCD TV has a red hue where the screen is dark!?

Question

It is not a contrast issue, and I can very easily watch all programs. It is just really annoying. If the screen is all dark (think a sceen at night...) there is a very obvious red oval covering about 80% of the screen.

It was not always like this...

I will call a repair man out, but I like to be well informed before I do so.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Im not sure what kind of tv you have, but there are usually three colored bulbs in the back of a tv which project color onto the screen. One of your bulbs probably went out and its not a big deal. This happened to our tv and my husband was able to fix it himself.

Answer 2

This set does not have three bulbs.  This is an LCD engine rear projection set.  Have fixed this problem about one hundred times now.  he set needs a new/rebuilt engine.  Rebuilt engines come with modified ventilation so the problem will not reoccur.  Engine costs around $350  with labor (a pain of a job) expect total of around $600 in home.

Problem is defective color filters
