Hitachi 50VS810 I have an issue with this TV
It seems there is a yellow color always, more often when I watch hockey for instance.....I see yellow in the center of the screen, yet the outer edges of the screen is the vibrante white , that you would expect to see.
I really never noticed it until I saw my brothers identical unit, which was flawless
running HDMI from HD SAT box, all connections perfect
any ideas? I have tried a new Hitachi replacement bulb, cleaned all interior panels, to no avail
Any help or input would be more than appreciated
regards
John

I have the same problem yellow smear in the middle of the screen.
Really notice when watching hockey games. Called Hitachi they said
it was caused by the sattilite feed. I disagreeI have the same problem yellow smear in the middle of the screen.

Feb 8, 2008 Tonight my son noticed an area of yellow to yellow-greenish discoloration on the bottom half of my Hitachi 50v710. At first is was hard for me to see, but I fear it is getting worse. My set had the lamp go out last fall, which was replaced under warranty. I will attempt to post follow-ups as I learn more. [email protected]
P.S.- There have been two possible diagnoses posted in reply to the Yellow-green discoloration problem. One of them said the problem was the Light Engine and the other said it was the Optical Block. Can someone please explain what the difference is and how to discriminate between the two . I really don't want to sound like too much of a dummy when I talk to Hitachi customer service and/or Warranty representative.

You can't post conmments that contain an email address.
It could be that the "White Uniformity" needs to be adjusted which would probably require an authorized service technican to perform. Otherwise, the problem may lay within the light engine itself, also requiring a tech.

If you turn color off and stand back and examine the screen---if it is not black and white but yellow looking you have bad Glycol in the blue picture tube which is quite common.
Easy way to know for sure is with set on and rear cover removed peek with a small mirror at the three lens---don't touch anything with the set on===each tube red,blue, green should have a picture with the set on.
Likely you will find the blue one looks like a floodlight with little or NO image/picture.
Your TV has a defective optical block which should be replaced by a TV technician only. Due to the cost of the part and labor, it is almost less expensive to replace the TV. The part number for the optical block is UX23751 and is available at the following web site. I hope that helps : )
Hi:
The only way to repair this is to replace the optics engine assembly, Light engines are rather cheap these days, try looking on www.tristatemodule.com for a new or refurbished one.
Hi,it seems you are experimenting a light engine problem.This is how your tv works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLLHnQ4y-wo So basically the 3 Lcd chips that create the colors and image is going bad and thats why you get that color discoloration.Contact Hitachi or look for your light engine online.God bless you and your house!
