I already did the whole unplug the tv thing

Answer 1

I have a rear projection television that will do that if there is a power outage.  The manual says you must unplug the set for at least 20 minutes to get it to reset.  So the standard unplug and plug right back in may not work.

I would try finding a PDF version of the manual for your set online so you can search it for the word Standby and see what it says.

Answer 2

This just happened to my tv 2 nights ago.  Unfortunately that indicates that something is wrong with the tv, and your tv has shut itself down.  The only thing you can do is take it to a repairman so they can run a diagnostic test on it to see what the issue is.  If it is the reader tube they don't replace that because they don't dispose of the tubes themselves.  Chances are, you need a new tv.  That is what the repairman told me.  By the time you pay to get your tv fixed, the time involved, the hassle of taking your tv to their shop, for another 50-100 bucks you can get a brand new one.  

Good luck!!
