This is an LCD rear screen projection TV. There is a Red, Green and Blue LCD pallet that is mounted on what they call an X-cube. If all you are getting is Red and green then something happened to the blue pallet. Either the Ribbon connector came off or is loose or something worse. How hard did you mover it?
Another thought. How is it hooked up. If component then this may be the issue as component video connections are Red, Green and Blue. Just a thought.
Let me know.
