Dlp tv
I have a Vivitek TV and recently I have been experiencing a picture problem. I can watch TV for about 2 hrs and then it starts to flash and all the dark images turn silver and the light images turn dark...then it starts to turn purple...and flashes and it flashes so often you cant even watch the tv...it resembles the x-ray function on photo shop...any ideas what cld cause this? I called Vivitek Tech Support and they are less then unhelpful...

I am not sure at all, but TVs are famous for turning purple when a magnet is used on the screen...something small kids are most apt to do. I've had a nice 27in. old style RCA affected that way.

The flashing I am not sure about-

Well, if this is an LCD or plasma TV, magnetic fields will have no effect on it. I'm guessing this is some sort of flat screen, right?
