Rainbow colours An aged neighbour has a bush TV (not LCD or Plasma)and the colour has suddenly become 'rainbow like' particularly around the corners.Do you know how old this TV is? If it is ancient maybe she should consider a new one although she is a widow and has no money to spare so it would be nice if I could help her fix it.

This will either be a purity fault or as this is an old TV the tube (CRT) will be at fault which would not be worth spending money on. You would need to call a service engineer to check if it is a purity fault, but as this is a quick an easy repair it should only cost a call out charge. You would not be able to fix this yourself as a special tool (de-gauss coil) is required.

Vizio 50" Plasma VP50HDTV20A comes on with sound but screen shows rainbow colours before pictures comes and picture is blurry when on and not in full color. All the inputs have the same display.

If this is an old Plasma TV that you picked up somewhere, it may just be too old. Plasma screens degrade over time.

New plasma TV's are not common anymore, so I am assuming this one has been around for awile.

If it is new, take it back to where you bought it.

I have a five month old Samsung LN32B360 LCD TV I just turned in on and the picture came on but it had a rainbow look and then the picture goes off with sound only?

When you say 'rainbow look', do you mean vertical coloured lines on the screen? If so, then you will have a faulty Tcon. Could you get a snapshot of the fault and post it on here please then we can identify the problem more easily.

I have a bush colour tv and there is a blue,green,red colour wash right across the picture so people''s faces look half blue,green red....sort of as if there is a rainbow across the screen.. i do not have...

It sounds like your TV may need degausing.
Is your TV situated near to any loudspeakers or other devices with large magnets inside them? Or has anyone been near your TV screen with a magnet???
You need to try to get the screen demagnetised (degaussed). Many TV engineers have a degausing coil that could do this. It only takes around 20 seconds at most.
Some TV's like Mitsubishi have a DG button on the remote, that does this function without the need to call out an engineer! It only needs one press of the button every few years!

Coloured Pixels in or around black areas when watching TV

This is know as a diffusion issue. Most times this can be corrected with some minor alignment on the pots on the YSUS pwb. Sometimes the YSUS pwb has failed and will need to be replaced.

Rainbow colours down the screen

If the Photo is OK then it would appear to be a LCD fault. Checkout Nikon Customer support. At a guess if this more than 2 years old a new camera would be a more economic option.
