Swanny17 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Folks, I seem to remember reading a few months ago on here about someone getting a blue hue on their smart TV, but I can’t find the thread. Can anyone remember the fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¼½¾ Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 In your settings, if it's set for Vivid Colour Temperature try changing it to Normal Colour Temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 One thread was related to the Virgin box I think, which impacted all HDMI ports even if it wasn’t selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesie27 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 It's's likely that your TV backlight had gone/malfunctioned. Unless it is the aforementioned virgin media issue posted above. Trying the Virgin Box on and off should fix it though, a full reset at wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanny17 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Appreciate the responses guys. Basically, I sold my old LG Smart TV a couple of weeks ago and it was in perfect working order. The person who bought it has now contacted me to say the screen has a blue hue. It was in perfect working condition when sold so I’m thinking it’s just a dodgy cable or setting selected during the set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post it on here if so and I'll tell you if it looks like anything I've seen before. Also, ask them if they are using Virgon Media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartstastic Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/445366/Why+does+everything+have+a+blue+tint It's probably something to do with your backlighting as mentioned above. The fix itself is not that expensive if you want to do it yourself. Depends whether you have confidence to attempt the fix. I done it with a samsung and it wasn't to difficult folowing a video.

That looks a lot more like the backlight is gone rather than the virgin media problem. Are they asking for their money back and to give it back to you? Rather than you giving them some money back and they keep it? They might have just cranked the blue hue right up and are trying to con you out a few quid.

If they wanted a warranty they should have bought a new TV. Them's the breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If after you seeing it broken for yourself then you either get your money back and the TV or they like it and lump it. No in-between. They've had it for 2 weeks with no issues.
