Dodgy Beko TV (green tinge in picture/no picture)

My 28" widescreen Beko TV occasionally tinges the picture green, or on switching it on there is no picture at all. Turning it off then on again usually sorts it out, but was wondering if anyone had any idea of a more long-term solution than turning off and on again.

Banging the TV seems to have no affect.

    Try switching it off (unplug)for ½ hour then switch back on
    Check all your leads
    This can happen if one of your connections is loose or a wire failed
    Make sure there are no magnets, speakers, etc too close to the tv
    If there are move them away and degauss your tv,
    give it a couple of days to see if it improves

    Ooooh, my Beko portable in my bedroom has been doing the green tinge thing and I've been blaming the Freeview box. To be fair, it must be 15 years or more old. This sounds like an excuse for a new TV.

    Was given the TV for nothing, so so long as can get a tv picture without too much hassle don't really mind. Guess this was the opportunity to find out that buying a poor brand of TV isn't the best idea when it comes to keeping a TV for the long term.
