Problem for Panasonic TH-42PD50U 42 in. EDTV Plasma Television

Plasma tv problem

By Dinoza on May 07, 2007

" "

Plasma TV problem - My Plasma tv is having a serious problem. Suddenly the Red color is no longer Red but Orange. The picture looks much worse now. I know it may sound like the set was getting old but I only had this set for less than a year so I don't think it's wear and tear.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I was thinking that it might just require dusting up. Should I open it to clean inside?

Please advise.

Thanks,
D.

- Thanks but unfortunately the Plasma was bought in a different country and I couldn't convince the local dealer to accept it.
Any other ideas to solve my plasma tv problem?

I'd hate to throw it away...

- Kegtapper, thanks for the advice.
I tried your suggestion but the Plasma tv is still having that color problem.
Although I do think that the Red color is a bit stronger now.

Any other ideas before I toss the TV away?

- My Panasonic TH50PX60U 50" Plasma 18 months old has a thin black horizontal line couple of inches from the bottom displayed permanently. This appeared about atwo months ago. Panel warranty is good for two years. Know what this is?
I am claiming factory defect. May have to go to small claims court if no satisfactory resolution is reached - the only American way. - waltliu

If the TV is still under warranty I would call Panasonic or the retailer you purchased it from before opening anything up on it.

Try checking the cable making sure they are tightly plugged in. My dads Plasma screen started showing orange / brown colors in place of primary red... he had been moving things around and didnt realize the wires were loosened in the process. This made him realize.... GET an HDMI and get rid of all the other cables......
