Vizio 32 inch now shows mostly only green and red colors

Recently turned on our 18 month old Vizio 32" LCD TV and the predominant colours are now green and red, some tans I guess and blue is gone completely. Of course the manufacturer/Costco warranty is gone now but does anyone know if this is a $200 or less fix our should we just remove and replace this unit?

Thanks!

    My Viz went "pop" one day and now shows mostly red and green on the Analog HD input. TV through the HDMI input looks fine, but xbox through the red green blue inputs look bad.

    My TV also shows mostly green. When I play Matrix 1 (DVD), there is a scene that is supposed to be pure white background. But it looks so green instead. FYI, mine is about 2 year old.

    on the dark colors and red it shows a neon green. Also eyes and teeth and around the outside edge. Have done the reset all setting. Have tried vizio tech support and they had me email them pictures of the screen. They still have not emailed back.

The colors are going out in Vizio E320VL. Can I fix this by replacing the main board or is there another solution?

Sounds like a faulty Timing Control board, I had the same problem except yellows showed up green.

Hey there, I have a 6 month old vizio 32" LCD 60hz

LCD inverter module may have encountered a failure. Most common is an electrolytic capacitor failing in the power supply. Examine the board to see if any of the caps have a bloated or raised top, they should not be swollen or leaky. If so find the replacement capacitor # on line and replace. You will require a modicum of soldering skills. You indicate the tv is 6 months old.
Return it for warranty service, do not open your tv or you will void your consumer warranty.

HDTV LCD 32 inch is all green. Good definition but all green. Have tried all color adjustments but even turning down the green all the way still leaves a green screen with some red and blue colors in the...

THe most likely cause for this problem is bad connection of the cable connecting the main TV board with the LCD controller. It's called LVDS cable and is hard to miss, usually fat round and black, connecting a board from the chasis with a little board in the top center of the LCD assembly.

I'd open the TV and gently try and reattach the cable to see if that yields any results. You can try it a few times, in fact I'd do it while the TV is open and working so I can better see if adjusting it makes a difference.

There's also a chance that the LCD logic itself got burned and misses on one of the colors. But I don't remember ever seeing that.

Wavy red lines or red pixelation, not sure what it is

Go to Vizio website and buy the extending warranty, you need to have your TV replaced since the problem is with the screen itself.

Vizio liquid crystal tv l32hdtv

Check the cable connections and/or replace the cables to the AV2 input.

If replacing the cable doesn't provide a solution, try running your DVD through the input. Since it works fine now, you would be checking the input AV2 by putting your working DVD. If the DVD plays with no problems, the input is fine.

Also try the VCR using coax into the TV instead of RCA into AV2. This will give you some idea about the condition of the VCR.

I suspect either the VCR or the cables.
