Picture fades in and out

I have a 32" Sharp Aquos and the picture always fades in and out.  Gets dimmer and then back to normal.  Does it when i'm watching DVD or cable TV.  Dont think it does it when the computer is hooked up to it though.

Some newer TV's are equipped with a ROOM SENSOR which will change the Contrast and Brightness according to the amount of light going into the Sensor. While watching DVD's or Movies the output of light from the TV screen changes sometimes affecting the Sensor. While Computers are pretty consistent with light output.  Go into your TV Menu and look for ROOM SENSOR or something similar and turn it off. If not then check in the TV Menu Video controls and see if there are any Contrast or Brightness functions set to AUTO. If so grab a DVD with THX and they have a TV Calibration that is very easy to set-up your TV too.

Hi,
Maybe the cords have the problem.
You might have to pull and reconnect the cords and do the same basic turning on/off of the Tv.
Or you might also check the positioning of your Tv, example : are there stereos or speakers near or beside the Tv? it causes magnetic reaction and causes the screen to not work properly.

Have a Sharp Aquos LC37D6U that the picture fades out.
Most likely the back light has stopped working, and you will need to replace it. How long has it been since you bought it? this is important because you might still under the manufacturer's warranty.

The picture is intermittent, stays for a long time,
is the backlight staying lit even with the picture out? I had the same problem with my Aquos LC32DA5U my backlight was always on but no picture at all, just a lit up black screen, the problem is the LCD controller, I replaced that and it's perfect now.

What kind of connections are you using?

If component (red, green, blue) double check to make sure they are seated properly. I'm thinking it sounds like the blue one got loose.
