My TV screen is GREEN - Blu-ray Forum

Augustine864 · 05-27-2008, 12:45 AM

Hey, I am having an issue where my TV's screen is entirely solid green when I'm trying to watch cable. It was fine earlier, but now for whatever reason it is just a green screen. The sound still works fine. Also, when I switch to my PS3 to watch a movie or play a game, its absolutely fine, so the TV itself must not have a physical problem. I didn't change any settings from earlier in the day, so I don't know what the issue is. Also, we have the same cable provider downstairs, (Comcast Digital Cable), and that TV is fine, although not an HDTV.

My TV is a Samsung LN4671. Any ideas?

It is the cable box. I swap them out all day long with the same issue.

If you have comcast its obviously the box, just press the MyDVR button and it goes away

If you are using component cables with the three colored cables make sure the red and blue did not come loose... and only the green is plugged in.. I have seen this an issue before..

I bought one of those cheap $3 HDMI cables off ebay and after a couple months mine did the same thing... If you have one as well try using a different cable...
