For about the first 20 minutes that the TV is on the picture goes in and out . It seems like it needs to warm up. Any ideas on the problem?

I wonder does your screen flash on and off or does the picture just go away? If it flashes on and off it may be that the power supply has a component that has to heat up to work or a loose connection that finally makes contact. The same thing would happen if the picture just goes away except that a component somewhere in the video circuit could be loose or a capacitor has lost its value and regains it with temperature. There are a number of things that could cause this problem. This is only a few of them. Stargazer

TV picture goes out after 10 minutes of viewing with popping sound

It can be a couple things. Something bad on the power board. Or the vertical output circuit. How long ago did you purchase the television. Your best course of action is to have it serviced.
If you need any information or other assistance let me know.
Thanks,

When you turn the tv on it goes to the settings screen and you can't get a picture for about 20 minutes until it warms up

Fist is contact Philips to see if this (with the model number) is a known issue or if there is a software upgrade available for this set.

Sound OK. When turn on TV, picture will go off and on about 15-20 minutes. After TV "warms up". stops doing this. But, seems to get worse as time goers by.

The video IC of the TV seems to have gone, not completely though. That is why it is malfunctioning. Please have it changed immediately.
