lcd panel just flashes through patterns factory

It sometimes (but only sometimes) flashes patterns, lines/colors on the screen. The pattern and nature of the problem does not look exactly like any of the other examples I have seen online which is why I am making a new post.

The details are the following: The TV usually works 100% normally when I turn it on. Only after a few minutes of watching TV, does it start flashing patterns/lines on the screen, and it does not stop until I turn off the TV. This process has repeated for a couple of weeks now. The sound always works so it is just the video. I have tried leaving it unplugged for a day, factory reset, etc. Sometimes I can watch TV normally for only 60 seconds before it breaks again, other times it lasts more like 10-15 minutes after turning it on, but it always happens.

I am attaching a video example of the issue so anyone may be able to help diagnose. From what I have read online it might be T-con board (cheap on ebay), maybe the LVDS cable, possibly the whole panel (not worth fixing), or the main board.

My 55″ TV displays flashing and distorted colors on all channels. This happens even when the channel or volume overlays are on the screen. This issue did not slowly happen, it just happened overnight basically. I want to know what caused my TV to have this issue. I tried changing many of the internal TV settings with the original remote control in the color management settings.

To learn how to manually download and install a device driver such as Chipset, Video card (GPU), and Monitor driver (if required, most monitor drivers are delivered automatically through Windows Update) on your Dell computer, see the Dell knowledge base article How to Download and Install Dell Drivers.

If the issue persists on the external monitor, it may be an issue with the video card (GPU) or video settings and not the laptop LCD panel. Go to verify display or video issues in Windows Safe Mode. Otherwise, go to the next step.

Performance issues may occur if there is any damage to the LCD screen. The display may stop working, work intermittently, flicker, display horizontal or vertical lines, and so on, if there is damage to the display screen.

Dell laptops have integrated diagnostic tools that can determine if the screen abnormality is an inherent problem with the LCD screen of the Dell laptop or with the video card (GPU) and computer settings.

When you notice screen abnormalities like flickering, distortion, clarity issues, fuzzy or blurry images, horizontal or vertical lines, color fade, running a diagnostic test on the LCD helps identify if the issue is with the LCD panel.

Press and hold the D key and turn on the computer to enter the LCD built-in self-test (BIST) mode. Continue to hold the D key until you see the entire screen change colors.

If you do not detect any screen abnormalities in the integrated self-test mode, the LCD panel of the laptop is functioning properly. Go to the Update the video card (GPU) driver, monitor driver, and BIOS section.

If you notice any abnormalities in the LCD built-in self-test mode, contact Dell Technical Support to learn more about repair options that are available in your region.

Display settings like brightness, refresh rate, resolution, and power management may affect the performance of the LCD screen on your Dell laptop. Changing or adjusting the display settings can help resolve several types of video issues.

NOTE: Depending on the model of the Dell laptop, the shortcut keys to adjust or change the brightness may differ. See the User Guide or User Manual of your Dell laptop for model-specific information.

If the diagnostic tests on the LCD panel and the video card (GPU) passed, it is most definitely an issue that is related to software that is installed on the computer. If the above troubleshooting steps did not resolve the issue, you may try to restore the computer to factory default settings as a last resort.

- SofMCCS scans the system, it must sense the two Matrox cards, and it lists three entries 1, 2, 3 as Dell 2407WFPHCLCDs - so its obviously seeing them separately

- this seems to suggest that it sees LCDs 1 & 2 on the Matrox Parhelia AGP and LCD 3 on the Matrox Parhelia PCI. (I cannot find anything on the SofMCCS listings that tells you what video card each display is connected to)

The only remaining question I have is a simple one. If I apply the steps in SofMCCS as you suggest, and say it messes up the LCD settings (like it did for ohmike where the display became unstable, geometry was messed up, etc. and he had to fiddle with various settings) can I assume that if I exit SofMCCS, and then use the OSD Factory Reset, it will over-write the SofMCCS effects and reset all displays to original factory settings. I am worried that if SofMCCS messes things up, I might not be able to use the OSD Factory Reset which will require time and frustration in fiddling with the settings to try to get as close to AS WAS condition before SofMCCS was applied.

Another way of looking at it, if the display settings are changed (whether it be through SofMCCS or user twiddling) does the OSD Factory Reset>Reset All Display Settings still do its job regardless?

Sorry for labouring this point. Its just that I have messed around enough with setting up the 3 LCDs that I do not want to go on another time consuming and frustrating round where I have to play around with settings that I do not really understand. What I want to hear you say is that regardless of what anything (user or SofMCCS) does to the LCD settings, the OSD Factory Reset will do its job in Resetting All Display Settings?

In the past decade, LCD monitors have replaced CRT screens for all but the most specialist applications. Although liquid crystal displays boast perfect

There are many different types of TVs, from CRT TVs to LCDs to plasma screens, and the causes of color problems are numerous and diverse. In general, muddy, oversaturated, or strange shades of color result from a simple misuse of the TV’s built-in color settings.

Your TV could also be in service mode. In this mode, the TV circulates through a red, green, blue, white, and partially white full-screen display to check for inactive pixels.

Adjust the contrast so that white and black are distinguished, and adjust the brightness so that black is darker than gray. Increase the sharpness completely, then decrease it until the halo around the lines and letters disappears.

Flatscreen liquid crystal displays recalibrate the molecular structure of crystals to create color displays. LCD monitors rely on a single-pixel to provide the entire image.

Another flat-panel television, the plasma display, creates color images through small cells of charged ionizing gas. Like LCD TVs, plasma TV colors can be affected if the TV is not set to the proper resolution.

Such damage can be caused by magnets near the screen, for example from unshielded speakers, and can either be permanent or reversible. In any case, you need to use a professional repair service to inspect the set. It may be more economical to just buy a new set.

If using an antenna for your TV, broadcast signals reflected by nearby tall buildings may cause ‘ghosting’ in the picture. Simply try readjusting the antenna direction and location.

Sometimes a Google Fiber device gets into a state that requires you to powercycle (restart) or reset it. Your Network Box or router can run out of memory due to pending download requests slowing down and eventually stopping its system. If you’re having trouble with your internet connection, you should first restart your Wi-Fi router either through our Google Fiber app, or by manually following the instructions below, before you try to reset it.

Under your Pixel 5 phone’s screen, at the top center, you can see a white dot. This white dot is your proximity sensor. When your proximity sensor is on, the dot shows through the display. The dot can blink or stay solid.

When the device is in the process of connecting to the cloud, it will rapidly blink cyan. You often see this mode when you first connect your device to a network, after it has just blinked green.

Before entering safe mode, the device will proceed through the normal steps of connecting to the cloud; blinking green, blinking cyan, and fast blinking cyan. If you"re unable to connect to the cloud, you won"t actually end up with breathing magenta, but execution of application firmware will still be blocked - so you are in a "sort-of safe mode" (e.g. to enter "Safe Listening Mode").

You don"t have to flash tinker, of course, that"s just an example. Note that the d00c, d00d, or d00e varies depending on the type of device which is why there are three different commands.

Hold down RESET and MODE, release RESET and continue to hold down MODE until the device blinks magenta, then release MODE. The device will then go through the normal sequence of colors: blinking green, blinking cyan, fast blinking cyan, then breathing magenta. Once breathing magenta, you should be able to OTA flash again.

At the moment, all of the AssertionFailures are in things related to threads and the system thread, but that’s just because those are the only things that have been instrumented with an AssertionFailure panic.
