Step 3

Make sure that the air vents on the back of the unit are not clogged or obstructed if the temperature indicator is flashing. The air vents are located on the back lower half of the TV. If the vents are clogged with dust, you can clean the vents by using a damp cloth.

Step 4

Turn your TV off and wait for at least an hour if the image on your TV is blurry. This is often caused by temperature changes in the room. Waiting for the temperature to settle can fix this problem.

Turn color correction off if you are viewing your TV using an HDMI connection and the image is unnatural colors. For example, reds are replaced by blues. To do this, press the "OK" button on your remote control to open the "Other Adjust" menu. Then, use the channel up and down arrows to select "Color Corr." Change the setting from "ON" to "OFF" by using the volume up or down buttons.
