TV problem My TV seems to have three large circles (red, blue and green) on all channels. This means that whilst you can see the picture the colours are distorted into three rings

Assuming you have a standard TV with a CRT and not a projection set up. Those three circles you describe could mean the CRT has been magnetized. There is usually a "deguassing circuit" that operates only during the first few seconds the set is turned on. If this cicuit is not operating and the set is relocated (in relation to the earth's magnetic field) it could cause residual magnetism in the metal elements of the CRT that could cause the electron beams to be "pulled slightly" away from landing where they should. The picture information itself will be there but the colors can't be right. We used to have large coils called deguassing coils in our tool box to demagnetize and nuetralize this magnetic effect - but then they invented these wonderful built in circuits. If could also be a major problem with the CRT itself. The shadow mask inside it could be warped out of alignment - solution for that is a new CRT. TVGUY

Any chance for a screenshot? The three colors are the three scanning electron guns firing on the screen instead of painting a picture, and yes, this is major repair. Not sure if it will be worth the repair cost, but you could get an estimate if you like the picture the set produces, when functional. Good luck!

Directv can't connect my tv to he, what can I do, they say I need a green plug in in the back,with the red, yellow, white

What I believe they are trying to tell you is you need to hook up into a component input . It is a video input only and it has three jacks usually coloured red green and blue. Match up the colours with the receiver and you will get an HD picture. They way you currently have it hooked up is a composite connection with only the yellow being for picture. This cannot get you an HD picture. The red and white is for the sound. I don't know what you mean by he though.

Although tv is showing picture the colours only showing background etc are green and blue

Hello
Your TVs red colour output section has the trouble. There is no red output at the red cathode of the picture tube. The red, green, and blue output sections are on the picture tube base board. In some Philips model, these will be consists of transistors, and some has an IC or Tree ICs for three colour output used. You just open your TV, measure the voltages at these three cahodes. There will be markings on the printed circuit board for these cathodes marked as [Rk,Bk and Gk].
In your TVs case the voltage at the Rk marked pin will be higher that the other two cathodes. This can be caused by an open drive transistor or an Ic whichever may ysed there. If it is transistor, just replace it with a same type and number, as in the ace of ICs the related Ic, must be replaced. If only one Ic is uded for red, green and blue outputs, that Ic must be replaced.
If you need any more assistance, feel free to get me through Fixya. Ok.

No green and yellow colour

Hello
If you see the picture in yellow colour, means that there is no blue colour output from the video drive section in your tv, Yello is the mixtrure colour of red and green. Green is actualy there. blue colour is absent.
To detect this fault, you must open your tv. Just look in to the video output section, can be located at the picture tube base card, which is plughed into it diretly. See for any loose soldering points there. Check whether transisotors are used for red, green and blue output stages, or an Ic or three seperate Ics are used for this purpose. Anyway, blue catode of your picture tube pin gets a hig voltage, and so the blue emission is absent. You just check the voltages at red,gree and blue catodes, at the respective picture tube pins, which can be taken at picture tube base card. All of these three pin voltages must be somewhat equal to each other. In your case, no voltage at blue cathode will be higher that the other two. Check for the reason. It may be due to an open video output transistor [blue], or an Ic, of one Ic if used for the three colour outputs. Check and replace the same, will rectify your problem. Ok

The colour has suddenly developed a green tint to the picture which I am unable to adjust The model is LE37R87BD

A green tint to a tv means it's lost its red channel (may additionally be blue channel). Check that your video cables are connected fully. If that's not the culprit, and changing tv settings doesn't work, you'll need to take it to a repair shop; so they can repair the "red circuits:" Note: there aren't any "red circuits" per 'se, but there are circuits that tell the various computer chips - in the tv - how to handle the image. By "red circuits" I'm referring to these.

Picture is OK, but colors are off and there is a blue star background that shows on dark colors.

Hello, With most rear projections there is usually an alignment to do with the set up with your TV. This is so the red, blue and green projectors align together to give the correct colouring. This sounds to me what may be causing the outlining of the blue. This can also make it seem off colour. Look in the set up menu of the tv and see if you can find this alignment feature. Usually a cross will appear and you move a blue, red, and green cross with the arrows on your remote to align over the original white one. If this does not work, it may also mean that one of your projectors, that is the red, blue or green one may be failing causing the off colouring. Hopefully this alignment may fix it for you.

Problem with a colour display on Hisense tv

If your picures are all purple it means that the green colour is missing. TV colour is made up by mixing Red, Green & Blue. Removing Green leaving Red & Blue makes purple. Study the green colour circuit for a fault and confirm that the green gun inside the tube is working.
