Magnavox 42" I purchased a Magnavox 42" Plasma.(model# 42MF231D) When I view anything on the TV, black and dark regions appear fuzzy with poor shading and WORST of all show a cloud of red pixels around the circumferance of the dark region. Any bright and lightly colored scenes look fantastic, but dark parts are nearly unwatchable due to it. Can this be repaired? Should I return the TV?=, black and dark regions appear with a cloud of red pixels around the circumferance of the dark regions. bright and white scenes look ok, but dark parts are surrounded by red pixels

I HAVE 42 INCH MAGNAVOX PLASMA TV AND THE SOUND WORKS BUT THE TV DOES NOT SHOW A PICTURE AT ALL IT IS JUST ALL BLACK,COULD IT BE THE PICTURE TUBE THAT WENT OUT.

yes...the video card could have gone out but most likely you have a connection that is loose or bad. I would check those first. If you have done so then I would try another video port and verify that it is the screen that is out and not just the port you are in.

My Magnavox 42MF231D 42" T.V

You may have a weak power supply. This would indicate one or two capacitors that are weak or bad. This model may be about 4 years now and this is a good indicator as these capacitors need replacing. The other problem may be the infared board in the TV that receives the signal from the remote may be a problem as well. I would certainly investigate my first thought. The latter is kind of rare. Thanks for asking and show a few hands of support.

Magnavox plasma tv model 42mf230a/37 sound but ni

Replace lower scan converter PCB, which plugged into Y-Sustainer Board, located to the left of the display if you poke back cover open. There are 2 of them, but in some models might be the one, long PCB.don't wait to fix it! otherwise, you will knock out Y-
Sustainer and upper scan converter. That will cause you to spend few hundreds to fix it.
Good luck,

Sorry, I haven't been on here for a while.
I haven't found the cause. I find that leaving it switched on overnight cures it.
