With the cost of a new TV being relatively low, I would just get a new one. I think it would be close to the cost of a new one to get it repaired. I don't even know of TV repair shops where I live.
By the time they get parts, charge you for labor, and make the repair, I bet you are close to the cost of buying new. Plus, that is likely a long process where you're without the TV vs getting a new one the same day.

If the TV is less than 3 years old and cost more than $1000, it might be worth a repair. Otherwise, buy a new one.
Most TVs sold today are not built to last 20+ years, but rather 5 years. They are inexpensive to buy because they are made cheaply. The exceptions would be a few high-end models from major brands (Sony, Samsung, LG).

I’m experiencing that now on my 2003 Toshiba TV I’m losing color and when I turn it on it flashes for like 4 seconds I don’t know how much longer it can hold out but not many people fix old TVs so I’m gonna have to buy a very expensive 4K high definition flat screen and put it on my wall and that’s gonna cost me some money 💰
@DryGermanGuy well I want have a good TV for football games mostly and I’ve seen them at Best Buy. They look so real like you’re looking at somebody in person. You can see the wrinkles on their face. what would you recommend?
Just buy „regular“ HD (1080p) equipment across the board. I would bet your tv channels don’t even broadcast in 4K or they would have to pay you extra for it.
I’m gonna take a picture of everything soon for you and ask you what you recommend to remove everything or just put the TV above it on the wall or just haul everything out of here including the entertainment system but it’s a lot of trouble for me because I’m rehabbing right now and I don’t wanna have to move all this stuff by myself into my pick up truck so I’m gonna have to pay somebody to take it completely away
@DryGermanGuy Most TV's sold in the US these days are 4k so there's Unless you opt for a small (32" and smaller) size, it's very difficult to find an HD TV
@Iron_Man Really sorry to hear that, it's sad when a CRT starts to fail since they are no longer produced and extremely useful for retro gaming. Actually 4k TV's aren't too expensive, I paid $180 for my 55" TCL TV that's 4K and couldn't be happier. Just have to look around for sales, even without sales 4K TV's can be had under $300.
There's probably something in your manual or a manual you can download for your model that tells you how to do a hard reset to factory settings. That would be my first move. Assuming you can at least turn it on.

First, I would turn it off, check all cables, and turn it back on. If that doesn't fix it, I buy a new one, probably larger diagonal measurement with more functions.
My HDTV brother from another mother @Redpowerranger98 can you help out @SabinaV with her Samsung television?

If it's $1,000 then get the $75 warranty for 3 or 4 years. They usually just refund what you paid because it's easier and cheaper for them, then you can go get whatever you want.

I'd attempt to repair it myself and if I couldn't I'd just go buy a new one. TV's are so cheap these days it'd most likely cost more to repair the TV then it would to replace it.

I've "fixed" four of them before... and soon will work on two more to see if I can do something about them
but in these cases, it's been as "simple" as disconnecting, cleaning and connecting back certain adaptors... and block certain sensors
never had one looking like that one in the picture, though
the tutorials are all on YouTube... lol

Unless you are a total filmbuff, also investing in a 4K player and 4K movie material, that’s a waste of money.

@DryGermanGuy I have Xfinity Comcast. You’re probably not familiar with it. It’s an American cable company but they do have high definition TV.

But I’m not gonna do anything until my TV completely shuts down first

@llorando you saw the TV before it’s hard
To
get a repair man many of them say they don’t do that kind of work anymore on these kind of tv
And if they did still do this kind of work, it would be difficult to get replacement parts, especially the picture tube.
@llorando Yes it would

usually there is no fixing these TVs. Buy a new one.
Never given any thought to repairing one. Seems like the cost relative to a new one wouldn't be worth it
Depends, age and cost of the television set. Is it repairable or more cost effective to purchase new.
Buy a new TV , it appears that the board that regulates color is going bad. It could be the picture tube going bad.
I would unplug it, leave it for a minute, plug it back in, and restart it. If that didn't help, I would get it repaired.
It depends on how old it is. It it was mind I would just trash it and get another one.
I have like 3 t. v.'s so i'd just replace it.
Check online or chat got. Maybe call a repair company
I would just buy a new one.
If it's more than a few years old, replace it.
Get a new TV.
