    Mitsibushi V51LCD Monitor Screen Tinted Red

    I have a V51LCD monitor that turns on and works but the screen show the content but with a heavy RED tint. It can not be adjusted out using the OSD controls. Interesting enough the Menu/OSD shows up normally without the red tint.

    Any ideas what could be causing this? Will post some pictures when I get home.

    Oh shoot, just realized that I posted this under the wrong section. Sorry!

    I tried to see if I could move it or delete it but didn't see where I could.

      A red/pinkish hue/tint means one or more of the ccfls are dying.

        Are inexpensive replacement CCFL's likely to be found? What supplier would you suggest?

        Thanks for your response retiredcaps!

          Then, wouldn't the menu and onscreen display also be tinted red?

            Exactly CRTfool. I seen this in a different post before and I think it had something to do with a reset on firmware if I'm not mistaken. I have to search for it now, thanks for the work. lol

                I agree with your reasoning and I could be have dreaming, but I thought I saw a case here in the forum where the most of the screen showed a red tint, but due to the small size of the OSD, it wasn't affected.

                It turned out to be the ccfl in that case.

                Again, I could be dreaming or mixing up the cases.

                  I knew I had seen this somewhere. This post here ( https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...osd#post105307 ) is the one where I had seen that a reset cleared up a reddish screen problem.

                    Awesome, Any idea how to access the service menu to do a factory reset? I can access the regular OSD fine, can I get to it from there? Thanks.

                        Ok, so I performed the factory reset from within the OSD. You could see the screen change from the pronounced red to a yellowish tint. After picking up the LCD to move it from the desk I noticed that when I moved the end of the VGA cable the screen would tint blue, then yellow, green, and normal. I swapped the cable and and monitor looks like back to normal.

                        I never noticed the cable causing the screen to move to a red tint.... It was just always tinted red. Not really sure if the factory reset was an issue or just a faulty VGA cable all along. Either way, thanks to everyone for the suggestions and help!!!

                            I was not familiar with that phrase so I google'd it....

                            I like it!
