I just bought a Samsung LN46C630 and hooked it up last night. The entire picture is covered in a red tint as if that is a red filter over the screen. I've tried adjusting all the colors, contrasts, R/G balance, etc. but I can't get the color right.
For correct color, NEVER use the "WARM" setting. Why? Too red. You
cannot get REALISTIC or ACCURATE color using the "Warm" setting.
Since we are speaking of Samsung, first avoid the "Flesh Tone" adjustment. When things are set correctly there is no need for this adjustment. It is a quick fix and not for the "discerning eye".
1. First, access the "Color Temperature" menu. From here select "Cool2" or the coolest temperature setting.
Note: For Samsung use "Cool2", or if not available, "Cool1". Samsung has inadvertently increased calibration confusion by issueing TVs that have just "Cool1", and TVs that have both "Cool1" and "Cool2" :0[
For other brands, use "Cool", or "High", or "+6500k". Anything lower artificially reddens the picture and compromises detail.
2. Now return to the color settings and reduce "Color" to between 30 and 40 (on a 100 scale). The sweet spot is just near the place where the color rapidly washes out.
3. To round out the color palette, move to the "Tint" adjustment and ADD a couple (3-5) clicks to the
GREEN.
Adding the touch of green is what is needed to take out the last bit of "pink" and will make all the tones and all colors display properly.

In those sets there is what they call color wheel and it could be on its way out it sounds like its stuck.or not working prop in any case you need to bring it in for service place
There are a few things that can cause this. Your t-con board, the signal board or the screen itself. The most likelly and cheapest would be the t-con board. This is the board that transfers your picture from the signal board to your screen. You would have to open up your tv and get the part number from the board itself.
You can get get parts for this tv at www.interliquidparts.com
The color signal consists of Red, Green and Blue. Those three colors, at various degrees, make all the other colors on your screen.
If you have a BRIGHT green screen it's best you don't operate your set. If it's just tinted green then there is a problem on the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) drive board. Do check your "tint" setting and see if someone misadjusted it. If that isn't it then you need to have your set on an electronics bench and get an estimate for repair.
Howdy;
Since you don't have any white lines with the red screen/picture I would say that the red bulb (CRT) is conducting too much. There is an adjustment control for that. The 'sceen' control is behind the speaker cover and service cover. Turn red screen control slightly to the left until you get a good black and white picture.
Try shielded video cables and make sure you have your cables hooked up correctly. Sometimes you can conect them wrong, specially the red one. If you are using componet in on your tv, make sure the red one is not connected to your audio. The green tint is because you are missing red in your picture.
No the red tint is either the red crt needs to be turned down or the red crt is developing a short. But hooking cable to it is not going to help, Unless the TV is really cheap, be careful as a new CRT will cost in excess of 300.00 and will have to be installed and properly aligned.
Always try your extended warranty!.....Probable cause = bad red tube. One adjustment may help---turn down red screen control, located behind technician access panel in front of set.
