No Green colour on plasma tv screen...

Hi...sorry if there's a dedicated thread to this already, but I did a search & nothing came up--well, for the phrasing I tried anyhoo :o

Problem:- tv was fine up to around 2am then another offspring wanted to check roads for a journey so turned the tv on again around 10am. Lovely reds & blues [must be cold today cuz the weatherman was very blue :rotfl: ] but no green.
Query:- advice please on how/where I can look to compare energy ratings alongside price comparisons. I don't really hold much faith with 'high street' evaluations but will look at their prices once I've an idea of what model to go for.

Thanks.

  • You want a new TV because the green has failed? Not very cash efficient then. Have you re-seated all the input cables?

    Oh I'm sorry! I had thought it was evident I am not a television technician or I would not have posted here would I :p I rarely wander to this side of the street, preferring to frequent Old Style, hence the bit about "energy efficiency" & "price comparison" so I'm afraid you're way off base with your assumptions I want to spend money TS :D
    I had a dim recollection of once a colour leaving the screen, the unit was kaput. After your helpful replies, I now know there is something I can wiggle; if that should not work, what do you suggest I try next before calling TOD on the poor thing?
    FYI it is second-hand & not something I chose to have in the house, but as it was also a gift it seemed chirlish to refuse. Neither was I aware that leads could come loose of their own accord so Thanks again...I'm off for a wiggle & I'll report back. x

    Many Thanks Browntoa...turned into quite a mission one way or another, cuz while the telly was 'out' we decided to investigate the 'treasures' that had fallen behind the huge unit standing next to it :p So that, in turn, led to a major dust-fest & almost spring-clean-like operation that took up most of the day :rotfl:

    Pleased to announce the set is working fine now & the lounge looks incredible :T
