Strong red tint with horizontal lines across screen

Check the options of contrast or tint, if your adjust them to your preferences then maybe it will work, or maybe it is just old. Glad if I helped.

friend maybe your LCD was broken or loose. try to pull gently if it return to normal image.

usually strong magnets like those in speakers cause lines on tvs if placed to close to the tv.
so demagnitizing the screen should work .
you may have to take it into a pepair shop to do this.
but if thats not the problem. you moe than likely are seeing a common problem of tv screen burn out. and these new tvs tend to burn out faster than the old ones did.

I was just watching TV and all of a sudden the screen minimized down to a single green line spanning across the screen horizontally. The label in the back says it was made in 1996 so it is an old tv. Can anyone help?

Have you tried with a new scart or htm lead?

This is a serviceman only job.  It isn't worth it.  The parts and labor are at least $500.

I had the same horizontal, solid red bar along the top of the tv screen. I have an older analog Philips Magnavox TP2785C221. It just started all of a sudden. It was on every channel. However, the bar did not appear on the other input channels (e.g., AV1, AV2). So this meant that the red bar was only occurring on the antenna input. I unplugged my cable decoder box and restarted it. The red bar went away and that seemed to solve the problem for now.

you have a shorted green CRT that is affecting the other crts the short is internat to the crt that leaves what is called retrace lines. if the set is more than three years old then replace all three guns.

ok,your porblem is very simple,reheat or resolder the main board your tv.

 

there is a screen the light shows through to project to the screen when this starts to fail the screen will have lines. it sits at the end of the light chamber. these are expensive to replace on some models.
