TV problem.. the upper left portion of my TV when turned on has shades of red..?

The upper left portion of my TV had a shade of red .. no matter what color is being displayed on TV.. For a while, I had my direct tv receiver and my clock on top of my tv.. Whenever I wave the back of my clock in front of the red shade it goes back to normal..





any suggestions/tips?





thanks in advance =)

Standard fault with standard solution !





Unplug set from mains supply at the wall socket !! leave off for at least 30 mins then plug back in and switch on ! Cured !!!


Note : some clocks do indeed have an electro magnet in them , however no damage is done to the TV by magnetic fields and it is the shadow mask inside the tube that gets temporarily magnetised !!!

Reply:Yes. You have caused a magnetic imbalance in your TV. Their is some type of magnetic material in the clock that has caused it to distort the pixels in your TV. The only real way to fix this is a process called "de-gausing" and I would recommend taking it to a proffesional repair shop to see if they can fix it. Magnetic fields cause fluctuations in the alignment of the TV's normal pixel arrangement, causing some of them to change the color viewed on screen. Generaly, you dont want to have any type of magnet near a TV screen that isnt shielded.
Reply:your clock probably has some form of magnet in it or some kind of magnetic polarity. i learned from experience on that, it can eventually ruin your TV. so keep away all magnets, speakers, compasses and clocks.
Reply:its normally a magnet inside your clock take it off or it could be your reciever but I dout it cause recievers are ment to be near the tv
