Voire 46" plasma tv- best color settings, to much white

For any TV; irrespective of its brand or type, set the contrast to 70 to 80%; brightness to 30 to 35% will produce a clear and vivid picture in B/W. Set the color to Zero, and check this first. After you have satisfied with the picture in Black/White [B/W], advance the color intensity, according to your viewing taste. This adjustment will depend on individual taste. Anyway, note the skin tone of the news reader at the studio. Take this color a reference. That's all.

Best way to set is watch a program with lots of human faces; then adjust the color and contrast for most human like picture and the rest will become more perfect. There is usually no factory adjustment listed in the manual. But you can download the manual online and check it if you wanted to do so.

Personaly I think these settings are the best for the insignia
Contrast: 38
Brightness: 50
Sharpness: -50
Color: 45
Tint: G3
Backlight: 3

Try some adjustments. Brite changes the level of bright and Picture changes contrast. Less contrast and less brightness to even things out may help, and you won't be driving the panel so hard, so It's life will be longer too.

The best setting are the ones you prefer the most.In general most sets are optimized for 50% on color and tint and usually 70% or more for bright and contrast.

The problem is that everyone has a different "taste" when it comes to these settings. I like to turn the color all the way down to start with. You should (if the set is factory adjusted correctly) have a black and white picture. If it's not B&W, then there's something inside the set that needs adjusted and you should get a service call. Then I adjust brightness and contrast to get the best B&W picture. Then I turn the color up until I'm happy with the color level, then I adust tint.

Hope that helps

Hopefully someone on here has a manual and can tell you exactly where the tint controls are. Also need to try adjusting the color level, turn it clear down so you have a black and white picture.
Is the picture still green over the screen with the color control
set clear down to black and white? If it does, you might
have an issue with the green gun going out or problem in the
circuitry to it.


By the way, the best way to adjust the picture settings on a
tv are to first turn the color control clear down, then adjust
brightness and contrast for best black and white picture, then
bring up the color level to where it should be and adjust the
tint for best red/green ratio.

first turn your color all way off or down.try turning your contrast way down as far as it will go you should see a darker picture. now bring up the brightness to a point half way. bring the contrast up to see grays and whites and blacks...adjust brightness more if need be. now you should see a nice black and white picture. no bring your color up last ...not saturate but to your liking. if you stilll got problems i bet your video out transistor is shorted....meaning shop work.

If you feel good about opening your set then you can try this: Look for the flyback (high voltage) transformer, with the thick red wire which goes to the top of the picture tube. There are 2 controls on the flyback transformer, focus (top) and screen (bottom)Turn the brightness and contrast all the way down and then increase the screen control until you see retrace lines, and then back it down until those lines just vanish. Return the brightness and contrast to normal and adjust the focus control, if necessary, for a nice sharp picture. Let me know if that brings your brightness back.
