My TV recently started to have display problems where it loads up fine but will randomly at times flicker back and forth between two "modes": Normal and Altered; or will stay completely as Altered and may randomly switch back, or can be temporarily fixed by turning the TV off and on again. One other weird part is that this problem occurs when my TV is in "Game" or "Dynamic" mode under picture settings, but when on "Natural" or "Cinema" mode it just stays on Altered.
I don't know what the problem is or if it can be fixed, if it can then how much might it cost to be repaired usually in the UK? Or is it worth more just buying a new TV, because even if it can get repaired in not sure how long it will last. Keep in mind that I basically know nothing about repairing TV or any electronics.
I included some images to show exactly what's going on, sorry for the low quality on the images, especially the ones taken up close. The names given are the file names of the attachments:
- Full Before - an image of the screen as taken off the screen which shows what the different colours look like normally
- Full After - the same screen but with the colours now altered, as you can see, colours are now a mix of purples, greens and yellows
- Top Before - up close image of the pixels near the top of the screen
- Top After - up close image of the pixels near the top of the screen which shows some weird sort of colour splitting effect going on with the picture
- Bottom Before - up close image of the pixels near the bottom of the screen
- Bottom After - same as above but shows the same colour splitting effect as Top After, but for some reason it's much worse, with there being larger gaps, especially visible here.
