Grainy and red tint on component video inputs from

If there is no yellow socket (terminal) on the TV, as in most recent year's VIERAs:

Connect the Yellow male plug from your gaming device into the TV's GREEN female socket (terminal).

Press INPUT on the Panasonic TV remote and select the Video input. In some VIERA models, you need to press INPUT, go down and select the Comp. option and then press >right to select Video.

To get audio (sound), make sure to connect the Red and White plugs from the gaming device into the TV's Red and White sockets (terminals) that are labeled AUDIO.

There may be some problem with your picture tube else try this that looks like retrace lines. Anyway, you should try to adjust screen pot not focus pot. Make sure you are turning blue screen pot (there are 3 focus pots and 3 screen pots) and do it slowly. If you turn it too much, it will affect your grayscale

I do not want to type the answer to this problem because I do not like to be the bearer of possible bad news. This television having been manufactured around 2006 may have reached the end of its life. As years go by, the picture quality on all LCD televisions diminishes.

Ok, ok, I got that out of the way first. Now forget that I just said all of that for a moment. This television will display a 720p resolution from its component input (green, blue, red, white, red). Make sure that whatever is connected to that input is only set to display images at a 1080i or 720p resolution. A wii or a regular dvd player not a bluray should look ok on the composite/RCA input. I'm not recommending the S-Video input for anything, and of course a computer can be connected to the VGA input still.

If the television looks bad even when displaying content on that 720p input then service can be considered and boards changed if you want to put money into this television rather than purchasing another one.

You probably have the RCAs in the component video hookups. Its easy to confuse them as they are similar ports. They are usually red, blue, and green. Look for the yellow, white, and red hookups. Those are for RCA connections as they don't work in the component hookups for HD video. i.e. blue-ray, PS3 That will cause the video to look grey and grainy.

well it sounds like something fried inside the tv. In my experience, this sounds like your y-sustain board went bad. it could be your video board also. considering todays value of the 50" panasonic plasma, it will be cheaper to replace it, unless you are willing to spend around $300 to get it fix at a shop.
good luck

Repair it

HDMI cable change its sub standard.

check your connections. it sounds ( looks ) like you may have connected the video cables incorrectly. the inputs and outputs are color coded, even if the cables you are using are not you can still use them.
