vizio gv47lfhdtv10a bad t-con!?

Just got this on the super cheap, panel turns on and works the menus look fine, when a picture is on the screen you can see the picture is starting to look solarized.

Before I tear into it, I am making a thread.

Here is a photo of the screen in action.

I will take the back off in a day or two.

I would re-seat the cables on the T-CON and on the main board, then check the GAMMA Voltages on the T-CON.

Will do, the menus seem unaffected with or without a picture.

Gamma voltages are fine, here is where it gets strange. This is supposed to be 1080p according to the fancy placard on the front of the unit.

When the source is at 1080p the picture looks like it does in the photo above. When set to any other resolution the picture is fine.


So this leads me to believe the mainboard is shot.

HDMI controller was going out, replaced the mainboard and it is now working as intended.
