5 Ways to Fix the TV Green Screen Issue

Why Is My TV Green Screen?

All display panels are made of red, green, and blue pixels. Each image on the display is composed of these pixels. If there is something wrong with the software or hardware related to the pixels, you may get the TV green screen issue.

Why is my TV green screen? You may ask this question. The possible reasons are as follows:

• Loose Cable Connection: It may hinder the transmission of some color signals and make you get a TV green/blue/red screen.
• Improper Picture Settings: If you set green too high or the other colors too low, you might end up with an overly green picture.
• Temporary Error/Glitch in the TV: It is the reason for most TV errors.
• Hardware Issues: The display component in the TV is damaged, triggering the TV green screen issue.

How to Fix TV Green Screen Issue

To solve the TV screen green issue, you can try the following methods.

Fix 1. Restart Your TV

If the TV green screen issue is caused by temporary errors or glitches in the TV, restarting the TV can solve the issue. Here is the guide:

1. Turn off your TV.
2. Unplug the power cable from the TV and the wall outlet for at least 60 seconds.
3. Hold down the power button on the side of the TV for about 10 seconds to release the power.
4. Re-plug the power cable and power on the TV to see whether the TV screen green issue is solved.

Fix 2. Re-plug the HDMI Cable

Nowadays, most TVs use HDMI cables to transfer audio and video signals. If the HDMI cable becomes loose, the images on the TV screen will be affected. Therefore, you should make sure the HDMI cable is connected to the HDMI port tightly and correctly. If necessary, you should also check the cables for damage.

Fix 3. Disable the HDR Mode

HDR, short for High Dynamic Range, is a technology used to solve the issue that some details in the highlights or the shadows of a scene will become blurred. However, on some TVs, HDR mode can trigger the green screen and you need to disable it in TV Settings.

If the HDR mode is already disabled, you can also try opening it and check whether the issue is solved. 

Fix 4. Update TV Software or Reset the TV

Keeping the TV up to date can get the newest fixes from the manufacturer and avoid some bugs. Resetting the TV system can remove some improper settings made by users.
