Can't adjust tint in 50 HD Digital LCD TV Element

On NTSC system tint option available. Use NTSC system TV channel and adjust the tint of colors. This option is not available in PAL / Se cam standard.

Hi,

I think your TV may not have this option at all. However, I can also come up with other ideas:

Some adjustments might become unavailable depending on the input or content, have you tried adjusting this parameter in different inputs? e.g. TV channels, HDMI, composite, component? Or different content? e.g. HDMI input but with a signal from a bluray player playing a bluray disc vs. signal from a bluray player playing a DVD. If you don't see the tint "unlocked" in any of these different scenarios the option might as well be natively unavailable.

Within the past week bought this exact set, had the same issue & figured it out. The set does not allow tint adjustment for digital channels. Just tune to any analog non-HD channel and you'll be able to access the tint control & adjust. I have a more expensive Vizio set I've had a few years where this is not so. I think some of newer sets are being made this way.

PLEASE CLERIFY ARE YOU USING COMPONENT CABLE OR COMPOSITE .DID YOU TRYED TO CONNECT TO DIFFERENT TV WAS IT FINE .

Here is something that may help from the toshiba.com website under your model number television. Q. Why are people on my screen green?
Models: 32HL17, 37HL17, 42HL17, 42HL167, 47HL167, 52HL167, 42HL167, 42LX177, 46LX177, 52LX177, 57LX177

If the problem is not the connections, try adjusting the tint on your television. A high tint setting will usually create a green
image on the screen where as a low tint will create a more red hue. In order to access your television's tint:
1. Press the “MENU” button on your remote control and use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys and select the
VIDEO menu.
2. Then use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to highlight PICTURE SETTINGS and press the "ENTER" button on
your remote.
3. Next use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to highlight TINT then use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys to adjust the
TINT. If the picture is too green the tint will need to be lowered.
4. Once you have adjusted the tint to your liking, use the DOWN arrow key to highlight DONE and press ENTER. The toshiba customer service telephone number is : 1-800-631-3811. I hope this helps you with your problem.

Take time to get used to the settings, you may think the screen looks dull at first. The truth is most people have way too much contrast on their TVs.
These settings will also work for Cable or Dish hookups, in which case you may change the Noise Reduction option to Medium to reduce signal noise.

it depends on what your using it for, adjust colour tones to what you think looks natural, contrast between 80-90, keep sharpness below 30. just have a play around till you find what best suits the source material.

Hi, bad news guys, from your brief description you have a bad light engine, you both need to have a tech verify this but thats most likely what is causing your symptom. This is NOT a layperson repair, you`ll need a tech, BMW Rider
