Take a screen shot so we can see what the pictures look like, it sound like Gamma problem on the T-CON board.
If this is your T-CON board, then you more likely have the bad AS15 GAMMA Vref IC.

There are more than one version of the T-CON:

budm - thanks for the information...I do believe it's a Gamma problem on the T-CON board. Now I just have to locate it on the TV...any thoughts on its location? FLPIII

It's on the T-con board, start by taking a photo of that board.
The T-con is usually at the top or bottom of the TV, and connects to the main AV board (which has the video inputs on it like HDMI and tuner.)

selldoor - the COBY has migrated to trash bin...turned out to be much more of a problem then just the main board or a connector...thanks for your help. FLPIII
