I have tried a couple settings that I found online but they haven't helped. I'm overloaded with yellow and blue colors and nothing else looks very good at all. No matter what I do I can't seem to get any red to show at all. Can anyone help?!?

By no red showing up, do you mean if you put up a red pattern you see nothing? Are you using component? HDMI? If there is no red it sounds like you may have a cabling issue. If you using component, make sure that you have connected the corresponding colors correctly. If it is HDMI, try another cable to see if that corrects the issue.

Thank You...I'm at work now so I can't try what you said, but will when I get home. I actually have not yet purchased an HDMI cable, so I am using Component. I was thinking that might be the problem and maybe I've got a connection issue with the Component cable at that.

As for the no red, I was watching the Dodgers/Diamondbacks baseball game last night and the blue on the dodgers hats was jumping out of the screen, while I couldn't even tell that the Diamondbacks' hats were.

Thanks for your help. I'll report back after I make these adjustments.

I agree that it sounds like a connection problem - it's pretty hard to get the sorts of problems you are describing when the cables are connected properly. If you have been in the Colormaster controls making large changes, you could potentially do something bad like this also... if the Colormaster controls have been moved, I'd recommend putting them back to their default/reset positions to see if that makes things look more normal.

Also... what you are talking about has nothing to do with calibration. This thread, as described in the sticky post at the beginning of the thread is here for discussion of calibrating TVs with instrumentation and software. So you should keep questions like these in the Owner's thread or other "problem" threads.

I'd just like to add the software can be as simple as a DVD.

My point being you can get started at the bottom, making changes that can be done by eye with good patterns (and a blue filter or blue mode).

OK....I've got it fixed. Thanks for the help. It was indeed a loose cable. I've since gotten an HDMI cable and all is good.
