Default Colour problem with Panasonic TX-28LD1/M television

Did you try putting the user controls such as the tint, colour, brightness,
and contrast back to factory default? Check the user booklet for details.

If the set is defective, the fault can be in any number of areas that deal
with the video processing itself, or something that I would not be able to
think of over an email. After trying to set the user controls back to their
default, and there is no improvement, then you should call an authorized
service centre to have an estimate. This way, you will know if the set is
worth servicing or not. It may not be very expensive to service, depending
on what the particular fault is. Infact, sometimes if it is a simple fault,
the tech would be able to fix the set on location.

Hi guys,

About a year ago, my mother moved house and her Panasonic TX-28LD1/M set
started displaying problems soon after - I can only assume that it received
a little bump during the move.

The problem is that the picture is very red where it's supposed to be red -
i.e., people's faces look radioactive. It's just about bearable (my
mother's been stubbornly putting up with it all this time), but it gets a
lot worse when a DVD or video is playing - the red areas are VERY red, and
the green areas are VERY green too.

She's one of these people that thinks that you throw electronic stuff away
and buy a replacement when the old one shows defects, so she's been saving
to buy a new set for the past year. I've finally snapped and decided to see
how much it'd cost to repair before she goes throwing money around. Does
anyone have a rough idea what might be wrong with it? Doesn't seem like a
fatal flaw to me, but I just want to have a rough idea of what to expect
before I go phoning up any TV repair places.

Many thanks,

Dr Aye.
