I have just bought a Tosh 42WH36 RPTV (last friday) and the set is looking excellent. It was an upgrade from my old 42WP23 and it is a lot crisper and has better colour reproduction.
However, I was watching it on Saturday night and after a while I noticed that the screen was getting bluer and bluer. Anything which was supposed to be black was turning blue and all the other colours where starting to look washed out. Even the black bars on my DVD were blue. I tried SKY through scart, DVD through scart and s-video and the same thing happened on all inputs. I turned it off for 5 minutes and then back on again and the colours were fine for a bit but then the blue came back.
On sunday I tried a proper test. Switched the tv on and everything was fine, but after about 1 1/2 hours the blue problem started to happen again. The thing which really concerned me though was that the menu (not the service menu, but the standard one) had perfect colour reproduction. Blacks were solid black and all other colours looked perfect, it was just the picture on the screen which was turning blue. How can this be?
I have now switched the set fully off (not standby) and I will give it some more tests over the course of this week to see if it is still doing it.
Does anyone know what this problem could be, or if they have had the same thing happen?
Would this be something that I can change in the service menu (haven't touched this yet), or would I be best to call Toshiba up sooner rather than later?
Cheers for help
