May 30, 2008, Newsletter Issue #67: Troubleshooting TV Picture Problems

Tip of the Week

Before you call for TV repair help, let's start with the easy stuff. Is the power cord plugged in?


If the TV is plugged into a power strip, is the strip turned on?Are your cables bent, pinched or just too long? Any of these can degrade the picture quality. Try to use source-to-screen cables that are no more than three feet.Does the problem occur with all sources, or just one? If only one TV channel is having problems, that will help you narrow down the issue. The same may be true if DVDs play well, but cable comes in badly.
