Repair- Suspect a stuck VOLUME down(-) button. A normal button will give you that tactile feel, compare it with the other buttons. If it feels similar to the other buttons then it could be the switch behind that button. The switch used in most front panel buttons are called ‘tact’ switch, obviously named because of that tactile feedback

Repair–Suspect T-Con Board–Sometimes, just resitting, unplugging and re-plugging the flexible ribbon wire from the T-Con board to the LCD panel, will fix it-If not replace T-Con Board-

Symptom- the unit powers on with a steady red light on the front panel. However, I could not turn the unit on using either the remote or mechanical buttons. The red standby light never flashes and remains steady.

Emerson LF501EM5F TV Symptom- Bought it less than 2 years ago and now won’t turn on. The Led light is solid red once I plug it back in. I took the rear panel off and can hear a small humming sound in the marked location. Repair- Replace Main Board

Funai LC320SSX LCD TV- Symptom- ” It does not turn on at all. It use to turn and turn off then it just stop turning off” Repair- Bad capacitor on Power Board

Replace- Replaced the power board with a new one and replaced the main board as well and also replaced the t- con board–No ChangeRepair–1 burnt Led on LED Strip inside panel–

Hisense 50K23DG LED-LCD HDTV - 50K23DG Symptom- red light comes on, flashes 6 times Replace- Replaced the power board with a new one and replaced the main board as well and also replaced the t- con boardNo Change Repair1 burnt Led on LED Strip inside panel

Insignia NS-L42Q120-1-A LCD TVSymptom–The TV plays awesome beautiful pic, but powers down , I can turn it back on and it plays great! Then powers down– Repair–Firmware Update

Insignia NS 50D550NA15 TV Symptom- While watching the tv I could hear a sizzling sound a flickering light in the top right corner and then the picture faded to black . I have changed the power supply board and with the new board installed there is power and audio. I can see a picture doing a flashlight test but I do not see any backlights. Repair- Replaced Power Board, have sound no picture. Can see movement, with flashlight-Apparently, shorted Mosfet on Power Board, burnt LED strip inside panel.

Symptom–While I was fixing a ribbon cable on LCD screen TCON board popped. Replaced with new one but now my screen has sound but image is extremely bright. With image but no colors.

Repair–Replaced T-Con Board–No change. Found shorted VA1-(Variable Resistor) Since it is on the Control Board, which is Micro Soldered to the Panel and cannot be replaced, it`s considered as panel failure-

Activate the TV’s menu — let’s see if that flickers too. We want to see if the menu flickers, because it might be only the TV’s picture that flickers. If the menu flickers, then we know we’re dealing with the panel or the TCON. If only the picture flickers and the menu is steady, then we know we’re dealing with the Main board.

LG LED TV-50LN5310 Symptom–Turns on quick white flash (Backlights) then sound, no picture- Repair-Burnt Line inside panel on negative side–Re-soldered negative line on connector

Now, You only have 2 boards- Power Board and Main Board. What I need you to do, is disconnect the LVDS Cable, the cable that runs from, Main Board to T-Con at top of Panel–See picture below- Disconnect at red box, plug in TV. Does it come on–

Panasonic 42 THAS610D LED TV Symptom- backlights are looking fine, no picture- Repair- Checked SMD Fuse is good. Replaced T-Con, no difference When removing 1 FPC Cable(Cable at top of T-Con, we get 1/2 picture. Was considered panel Failure’

Philips LCD TVSmoke like shadow on one side of the screen It is most likely a LCD panel problem. It is costly and impractical to have it replaced. You can only discern the smoke like shadow on low light scenes

RCA 42″ Flat Screen TVSymptom–I have only half the screen is working . After it warms up the you can see the whole thing. Repair-This problem is either the T-Con Board or Panel Failure–

Symptom-When the TV is plugged in the Red Light is on-No Blinking-Then when I turn the set on with either the front panel Button or the remote control the light then goes off and nothing happens, No sound or picture

Repair-3 shorted LEDs inside panel–In stead of replacing strips, put a jumper resistor and soldered in–Use 5K Resistors is best–Remember his LEDs where in Sequence and not Parallel–

Samsung-LCD TV Multiple Color Vertical Lines- This type of TV problem, we must call out the OSD Menu to confirm–If the OSD Menu is showing normally on the screen, but the-background is full of color vertical lines then this symptom is caused by the Main Board or LVDS Cable–

The only thing you have to do is disconnect the cable between the power board and main board. Then, power on your TV. If you see the back light in the back of panel the problem is the main board if not, the power supply is the problem.

Sony LCD TVHas dim picture–1 of the CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent lamp/light) could have burnt or the circuit(inverter) that powers it might have failed. A technician will usually swap the connectors between the suspected dead lamp with the other good ones. The backlight consist of more than 2 CCFLs. When swapped and the dark area is at the same location then you have a bad lamp, otherwise suspect the inverter.

Sony 52″ LCD TVSymptom-Turns off by its self after a few minutes- Try to check first TIMER Settings on the TV set. Disable features such as auto-off and sleep timer. If everything seems to be ok, check air vent holes for possible obstruction and clean, maybe a sign of overheating.

Repair-Activate the TV’s menu — let’s see if that flickers too. We want to see if the menu flickers, because it might be only the TV’s picture that flickers. If the menu flickers, then we know we’re dealing with the panel or the T-CON Board. If only the picture flickers and the menu is steady, then we know we’re dealing with the Main board.

Symptom– Turns on, then says “Digital Television” then turns off.( Short flash of Light...and a short Display ) This type of failure is almost always caused by Inverter circuit failure, in the majority of LCD TV’s. Check the pico fuses or smd fuses and HV Transformers in the main inverter circuit, but with these models, I know that one of the HV Transformers, often develops a open a secondary winding. It is usually the HV Transformer, at location T1100

Symptom–Nothing happens if I press buttons from the remote control or even on the TV panel. If I unplug it for an extended period of time it seems to “boot up” right away and everything is fine.

The number of special 3D eyeglasses included with the 3D TV. Some 3D TVs omit this item to control costs. Some 3D Blu-ray players may include these glasses. Retailers may offer a "3D TV + Blu-ray" bundle that also includes the glasses. All of the 3DTVs in our Ratings require the viewer to don special eyeglasses. So-called "active" 3D sets, which require "active" battery-powered LCD shutter glasses, may come with one or more pairs, or none. Additional pairs generally cost from $50 to $150 each. Most so-called "passive" 3D TVs come with four pairs of passive polarized glasses, much like the ones used in theaters, which don"t require batteries. Additional sets cost from $10 to $30 each. You cannot use passive glasses with 3DTV that requires active glasses, and vice-versa. You also generally cannot mix active 3D glasses from one brand of TV with another"s, though TVs made in 2012 and later may share glasses. (Passive 3D glasses can be used interchangeably with any passive 3D TVs.) There are some "universal" active 3D glasses you can buy as an after-market item .

As we stated above, the stand is a large piece of obtrusive plastic. It is a blown up version of what you see on smaller Toshiba models. The scale required to make the stand from a 32"" television support a 55"" television does not translate well. On top of this, the neck on this plastic Goliath is totally static. Getting at the ports will be hard, you will need a young, able-bodied worker with a back strong enough to lift this humungous display and turn it around.

All of these comparable LCD models have a similar peak brightness. Any TV producing more than 300 cd/m2 is bright and will be more than suitable for any room in your house, regardless of the lighting situation. More on how we test peak brightness.

We noticed a very even uniformity on the , both on all-white and all-black screens. With LCD models, we sometimes see the backlighting making uneven cloudy patches in these situations. CCFL backlighting, when done correctly, can produce a more even picture than LED lighting (especially edgelighting) because the tube lights behind the display are distributed all along the screen, rather than placed just along the edges or in clusters.

This Toshiba showed excellent retention of detail in motion. Faces were fully recognizable and tight lines remained separate and intricately rendered. Only a few colors, red particularly, had some minor drag to them, leftovers of the previous frame. We saw that some of the rectangles we move would sport some jagged edges, but this was a minor problem. Mostly, motion performance was a boon for the . More on how we test motion performance.

This Toshiba displays natively at 1080p, and very well at that. If you make sure to set the aspect ratio to Native, the will be rid of any overscan at any resolution. We saw not a single problem displaying high frequency, high contrast patterns (tightly knit lines of black and white that are difficult for most televisions) at this resolution. More on how we test resolution scaling.

This Toshiba was advertised as having a wide viewing angle in the marketing specs. We beg to differ. In fact, we tested viewing angle twice because our first set of data was not very believable, though the proximate results were approximately the same. LCD screens tend to have poor viewing angles, but you can see in the chart below that the has a narrow viewing angle, even in relation to comparable models.

The stand on this 55-incher is totally static. If you like picking up a giant television, with the possibility of tipping such a hefty investment over, then you will be happy with this Toshiba. Otherwise, you will find making connections difficult, as all the ports are on the back and there is no way to get at them without wrenching your back.

The speaker hardware Toshiba provides for the isn"t strong enough for quality sound playback. Two 7W speakers are less powerful than what most HDTVs provide, even on 32"" models.

The USB media port on this Toshiba only supports playback of pictures and music, and only MP3s and JPEGs. These are popular formats for this type of media, but more and more MP3s are being phased out because they are low quality. MP3 was great in the days of dial-up internet, but now that we have broadband, the M4a file, like what you get from iTunes, is more popular.

Looking at all the models in this chart, it would seem like the costs much more than an ordinary LCD screen for an average year of use. When you consider that this Toshiba is a 55"" television, approximately 10"" larger than the others, resulting in about 1.5 times the total screen area, you can see that quite a bit more power should be required to light this significantly larger display. Even so, the is reasonably in line with the rest, showing that it consumes an average amount of power for an LCD.

Both of these televisions had problems with color temperature. Our money goes with the Toshiba, showing a larger error, yes, but secluded to the darkest part of the spectrum. The Toshiba also had better color curves than this LG, for overall better color accuracy.

We really liked the motion processing on this particular Toshiba model. The LG had great motion capabilities as well, allowing user control over the processing, but it just was not as strong. We will say that being able to control the processing is of greater value than overall performance because, on full blast, any film based content will look wholly strange. On the LG, you can back off the processing until film based content does not look bad, while still having some interpolation for added smoothness.

Toshiba has had a hard time with viewing angle this year. The LG, though still narrow, beats the Toshiba by more than twice the possible viewing angles.

The LG has an extra set of analog ports (both a component and composite) over the Toshiba in this comparison. We also really liked the USB media port system on the LG, which is not limited to the 47LK520, but is available on all LG models.

If you compare the Toshiba 46G310U to the JVC JLE47BC3001, the JVC costs about $150 more. This extra dough provides some LED lighting for a thinner profile, better color performance, an extra HDMI port, and a wider viewing angle. The Toshiba has a drastically larger contrast ratio and a really solid set of colors for less money. It may not look as nice physically, but at this price point, consumers want a quality picture for their money, not flashy design. The Toshiba provides the better value in this comparison.

The Toshiba has a much better contrast ratio than the JVC here, done with a much deeper black level. The shadows will be much richer on the Toshiba than the JVC.

The JVC showed an almost perfect color temperature across the entire spectrum. The strong color curves, paired with a very accurate color gamut show a really strong overall color performance that proves to be superior to the Toshiba here.

The showed us some of the best motion processing we have seen in a while. The JVC BlackCrystal 3001 was strong, but not quite up to the task of besting the Toshiba.

The ($1199 MSRP) is a large and basic television. This year, we saw televisions cramming in so much new technology, from 3D imaging to internet connectivity and LED edgelighting, that it was beginning to look like you couldn"t find a regular, old-fashioned box that would show some quality images without the extras. Toshiba stripped the of all these additions to give consumers an ordinary television with strong performance in all the major categories.

We liked what we saw with this Toshiba. The contrast ratio was excellent, stemming from a very deep black level that did not require a diminished peak brightness. The color set was mostly fantastic and the motion processing was some of the best we have seen in a while.

There were a couple drawbacks though (you would expect some at this price). The 7W speakers are an inappropriate match to a 55"" screen. The force of the picture is not supported by the weak tinny sound from the internal speakers. You can remedy this quickly with an external set. The color temperature showed some severe errors, but only at the darkest end of the spectrum where images will be so dark as to not really have any color. The biggest offense was the poor viewing angle. Even for an LCD screen, the viewing angle has narrow written all over it. Although, with such a big screen, even a narrow viewing angle will cover quite a bit of the room.

All together, this is a high performance television in this price range. We do want to emphasize how large the entire piece is. You will need to measure before you bring it home, and you should consider that it will take over the room no matter where you put it. If the size and look really bother you, consider the very similar Toshiba SL412U for approximately the same price. Otherwise, you can"t go wrong with this big screen, at this little price.

Tokyo—Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today unveiled the world"s first[1] LCD TVs that offer comprehensive 3D[2] capabilities without any need for dedicated glasses. The new "Glasses-less 3D REGZA GL1" series offers two models with screen sizes specifically designed for personal use: the 20-inch 20GL1 and the 12-inch 12GL1. Both TVs will be available in Japan from the end of December.

The new 3D TVs with no need for glasses employ an integral imaging system[3] and a perpendicular lenticular sheet[4] to display smooth, natural images, and Toshiba"s image processing technology to create nine parallax images[5] from the original content and create to 3D images. The result is precise rendering of high quality 3D images whatever the viewing angle within the viewing zone[2].

The 20GL1 integrates a high definition LED backlit LCD panel specially designed for 3D capability without any need for glasses that offers approximately four times the pixels of a standard Full HD panel. It also integrates the Cell REGZA Engine designed for 3D capability without glasses and based on the Cell Broadband Engine™[6] to deliver superior multimedia processing. The result of this combination is stunningly sharp, dynamic 3D images.

Toshiba will respond to various needs from the users for LCD TV with 3D capability. This will include larger screen models that use dedicated glasses and personal use LCD TVs without glasses, all offering dynamic, stunning image depth and high image quality. Toshiba will continue to draw on synergies of its semiconductor and image processing technologies to advance REGZA series as the cutting-edge of TV technology, and to create and deliver new value to the market by continuing to expand its line-up, and by anticipating and responding to user needs.

Toshiba introduced the REGZA series as state-of-the-art TVs that make full use of synergies between its semiconductor and image processing technologies. Originally a 2D platform, REGZA TVs now deliver 3D images with superb quality to achieve an unsurpassed 3D experience.

Current 3D TV is based on active shutter glasses that deliver separate images to the left and right eyes. However, the market wants TVs that deliver the 3D experience without dedicated glasses across all content. In responding to this, Toshiba has adopted an integral imaging system that reproduces smooth, natural stereoscopic pictures, without any need for dedicated glasses. The company has channeled its initial efforts into personal-use 3D LCD TVs without glasses and is now commercializing 12- and 20-inch models. With these new TVs, Toshiba will seek to lead the market in 3D TV without glasses and to further increase its market share.

The integral imaging systems is based on the principal of sampling and collecting form several directions the light reflected from an object, and then faithfully reproducing the light through the display to realize smooth, natural images. Until now, conventional 3D technology without glasses has produced a fall off in image resolution and increased blurring[7] that has prevented practical use. Toshiba employs an LED backlit LCD panel specially designed for 3D content that systematically aligns pixels, and has also adopted a perpendicular lenticular sheet in order to realize precise rendering and natural, high quality 3D images.

Toshiba"s technology simultaneously delivers nine parallax images to the LCD panel and controls and optimizes light emission and direction from the center, right and left of the screen to secure a wide viewing angle. The result is optimized display of high quality 3D images whatever the position and angle to the screen of the viewer[2].

The 20GL1"s high definition LED backlit LCD panel, specially designed for 3D capability without glasses, has approximately four times the pixels of a Full HD panel, approximately 8.29 million pixels. It can combine and display nine parallax images carrying information from nine images created in real time from a single frame. It transmits the final 3D image with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.

Toshiba"s LED backlight control system positions 1,440 LEDs directly under the LCD panel to realize bright 3D images. Moreover, each pixel can support the display of red green and blue (RGB) in a layout expressly designed for 3D imaging. Image data from each pixel is replicated nine times and the direction in which they are transmitted is controlled by the lenticular sheet. The result is smooth, natural 3D images that can be viewed from multiple angles without glasses.

The 20GL1 LCD panel is the fruit of research with Toshiba Mobile Display Co., Ltd. This was supported in part under the revised budget for FY2009 from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications for "Research and Development on Glasses- Free 3D Image Technologies."

The 20GL1 integrates the Cell Broadband Engine™[6] and the Glasses-less 3D CELL REGZA Engine, newly developed multi-parallax conversion LSIs designed for superior multimedia processing. High speed arithmetic processing creates nine parallax images from original content and converts it to 3D images with real depth, allowing Toshiba to achieve precise rendering of natural, high quality 3D images.

For the 12GL1, the newly developed engine designed for 3D capability without glasses combined with Toshiba"s image processing LSIs and multi-parallax LSIs creates the 3D image.
