If the problem is slight and/or has gradually gotten worse, this may just
require an adjustment of the color brightness/background/bias and/or color
gain/drive controls inside the TV. See the section:
Color balance adjustment.
Note that if it is possible to obtain a good black and white picture with the
user color control set to its minimum, then this is not likely a problem with
one of the primary color channels (red, green, or blue) but with the chroma
decoding circuitry. Or, perhaps, you are just watching MTV!
Even if it appears as though there is an excess, this may actually be a
reduction in one of the primary colors. For example, a magenta tinge is
represents a reduction in the strength of the green signal.
- Too high an intensity for one of the color channels will result in a tint of
one of the primaries: red, green or blue.
- Too low an intensity for one of the color channels will result in a tint of
the complement of one of the primaries: yellow, cyan, or magenta.
- Problems mainly in the shadows or dark areas of the picture usually represent
a fault with brightness/bias/background.
- Problems mainly in the highlights or bright areas of the picture usually
represent a fault with the gain/drive.
A color that that is now suddenly brighter or darker than normal resulting in
incorrect color balance or a tint in the background could be due to a number
of causes:
- Bad connections or bad component in video amplifier or on CRT neck board for
that color.
- Fault in chroma decoder.
- Weak gun in CRT (reduced color).
