I own a KP-57HW40 set that has a color and shut off issue. Started as a green tinge problem to the screen after watching for a few hours. Started becoming more and more frequent a couple months ago. Noticed that the blue bulb was flickering. Then yesterday the green tinge would start within 10 minutes of turning on and occasionally the picture would flicker to a blue screen and then turn off by itself. The standby light would flash 8 times. I can put up with the green tinge but the screen turning off I cannot. What kind of things would need to be repaired to fix these issues?

The tv shutting off can be explained by some kind of protection circuitry turning the set off.. This can be due to a variety of reasons most common reason being overheating.
or a new lamp. you could first replace the lamp. the screen might work fine for a couple of seconds, but then it fades away or deteriorates. This means the lamp is going bad.
