If it occurs on all inputs, it is usually caused by the T-CON or the LCD Panel. They are usually sold as a set together. So if it is the T-CON , you would still need to replace the LCD Panel. Due to the cost of repairing averaging around 900.00 to 1200.00, I would check prices to replace the unit.
I hope this helps,

Green screen

1.) Press and hold down the "Menu" key until the manufacturer's logo appears on the screen. This could take up to a minute or more. Release the "Menu" key when the logo appears.
2.) Immediately press the "9," "8," "7" and "6" keys in this order. Press the "Enter" button on the remote to enter the "Service Menu" screen.
3.) Press the "Menu" button to go to the second of the two "Service Menu" screens. Press down on the "Down" arrow until you highlight "Color Calibration." Press the "Enter" button to enter the "Color Calibration" screen.
4.) Select one of the color bars on the screen. Adjust the color by changing the values of the color bar by pressing left and right on the "left" and "right" arrows on the remote. Repeat this procedure with the other color bars as well. Stop adjusting the colors when the green cast is no longer present.
5.) Press and hold the "Power" button on the remote to exit the "Service Menu" and save the adjustments you have made.
Now turn the T.V. off. When you turn it back on it should reflect your personal preference.

I have a problem in my BPL TV(FHR-21) it showing a green color

How to Fix a TV When the Screen Is Green


A TV is calibrated by the factory to provide a "standard" picture that attempts to appeal to the vast number of buyers who take the set home. To adjust a TV picture that is too green, you must first enter the hidden "service menu" that technicians use. Adjusting the colors to remove the green cast will save you the cost that would otherwise be incurred from a TV technician coming to your home. No special tools are needed, nor any expertise in how the TV works.

Press the power button on the remote of a TV whose picture is too green in order to turn it on.

Press and hold down the "Menu" key until the manufacturer's logo appears on the screen. This could take up to a minute or more. Release the "Menu" key when the logo appears.

Immediately press the "9," "8," "7" and "6" keys in this order. Press the "Enter" button on the remote to enter the "Service Menu" screen.

Press the "Menu" button to go to the second of the two "Service Menu" screens. Press down on the "Down" arrow until you highlight "Color Calibration." Press the "Enter" button to enter the "Color Calibration" screen.

Select one of the color bars on the screen. Adjust the color by changing the values of the color bar by pressing left and right on the "left" and "right" arrows on the remote. Repeat this procedure with the other color bars as well. Stop adjusting the colors when the green cast is no longer present.

Press and hold the "Power" button on the remote to exit the "Service Menu" and save the adjustments you have made. Turn the TV off.

Green line from top to bottom on right hand side of tv

I am assuming that this is a green bar and you are connecting your cable box to your tv with an hdmi cable. If this is true you need to walk over to the cable box and turn the power off (not with any remote control but directly on the unit). Next press the menu button that is on the unit. The hidden menu will come up on the screen. You will see Color System as one of the menu options and you can use your remote control or the down arrow on the front of the cable box to scroll down to Color System. Next use the right arrow or the left arrow to change it from YCC 4:4:4 to RGB or vice versa. Then turn on the cable box and voila the green bar should be gone.

Green line down left side and geen snow

Horizontal or vertical bars on the screen could be from an ac line interference, adjacent magnetic field, bad input wire connections.....especially HDMI connector cables. A bad HDMI cable causes all kinds of unwanted picture interference. Check the conditon of all connection wires for proper fit and function. Keep in mind the method in which you connect your tv will result how the tv performs. As well this line problem could be a circuit issue too, requiring a technician to look at it.
