Posted on Feb 28, 2010

My Vizio LCD TV screen fades to dark. Sound stays on.

My 42 inch Vizio LCD TV is only 2 months old. The screen occasionally goes dard (fades to dark) and the sound stays on. This happens with cable or from DVD source. If i touch the remote the screen comes back on for a short time. This happened three weeks ago and had been fine until yesterday. The mocel is VO42OE. Bought at Walmart for $650. Part number is 10235130022.

I w having this same issue when watching a Blu-Ray disc. I found it to be dependent upon what picture mode the TV was set to. By this I mean certain picture modes would cause the TV to dim during dark scenes of a movie. Changing the picture mode helped a lot.

Vizio 42" lcd powers up with sound only - no picture

It sounds to me that the unit has a faulty inverter board which could be due to an overheated/bulged capacitor. I would send in a claim on it to the factory if it is still under warranty.

Vizio GV42L LCD TV screen black when turn TV on first time

If you are using a set top box this might be caused by turnig the box on at the same tie as you turn the tv on or slightly after you turn the tv on.  If you are using compnent or HDMI inputs the set needs to see the signal as it is turned on to know what formt the signal is in.
