Climbing up the ladder
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I had an issue with my 32" Sony HDTV where there was a red line that went all the way across the middle of the screen, so I sold that TV and bought a new one. This new TV is a 20" Insignia HDTV (got it free, brand new) and now I get a problem where the gray areas are, it's like very fuzzy and it makes a red-purple color wave, it's hard to explain but that is an issue.

I have all the HD cords going from my Hauppage HD PVR into the back of the TV, could this be the issue? I tried switching the cords to standard definition but the same picture showed up. What are some possible problems?

Thanks!

Shiver do you lift?
Its either the TV's Video port, or the ps3s.

Try cleaning it for dust.

Are they (or where they) Plasmas? Because PS3 has a habit of burning in the Image to the screen (so it never comes off) if you leave the PS3 Idle for to long on a certain image.
