SAMSUNG Ln46a630m1f worse after service menu adjustment

[bondo123]

hi, my Samsung started having solarized images, though general color is still accurate in places that are not solarized, i went into the service menu following this video to adjust the panel option

there are maybe six options so I scrolled left and right, couple options make screen look darker and pictures look quite different, but none actually corrected the solarized problem, so i went back to the same panel option, then reset the tv

after that, screen has gotten a lot whiter and pale (attached images), general color and menu color is off, faint lines appear on the pale background, solarization and image quality is much worse than before even with the same panel option as the TV was originally set at.....also, unless when I first changed panel option, now the picture looks almost the same with different panel options

what went wrong and why is the screen so much whiter ? thanks in advance

Replace needed

chrismurphy is correct....Replace T-CON Board......AS15 I.C mostlikely the fault.

thank you, I suspect the T con also, but I have not opened it up and touched any cable/components yet, so does anybody know how and why it got worse after doing only a reset and moving through the panel options but leaving it the same setting as before in the service menu ?

did doing that further stress and cause more damage to the T-Con board and make everything look worse than before ? or why resetting in the service menu make everything look worse ?
