Colored squares on the TV screen and low-quality images can hinder your watching TV programs. Various types of televisions, from cathode ray tubes to liquid crystal displays to plasma screens, have several causes for colored squared. People who misuse the television’s built-in color settings are the most common cause of muddy, heavily saturated, or oddly hued colors.
Colored Squares On The TV Screen
Defective internal components and damaged screens are the serious causes of colored squares on the TV screen. You can use the tips in this article to fix issues like broken coaxial cables, loose connections, and faulty splitters to get your picture back to its original quality.
If TVs in your home are displaying colored squares, there may be a chance to damage your primary cable connection or an issue in your area.
What is square?
The squares on the screen (Pixelation) reflect data packets that were not received or were dropped in transmission because of a bad connection. This is a sign that the signal is poor.
How To Fix Colored Squares On The TV Screen?
Reset the TV Box:
Turn off the television set.
Remove the power cord from the unit’s back as well as the power outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the unit and the power source after 30 seconds.
The TV box can take up to 2 minutes to reset.
Restart your TV box and perform the again test.
For up to an hour after resetting the box, your guide listing can say “To Be Announced.” Over time, the information in the guide will be automatically updated.
Coaxial connectors should be reset.
The coaxial cable connection to the device and the wall outlet are adjusted by reseating the device.
Disconnect the power cord from your TV set-top box.
Unscrew the TV box’s coaxial cable connection.
The cable wall outlet should have a coaxial cable attached to it (or splitter).
Both the TV box (RF IN or CABLE IN) and the cable wall outlet (or splitter) must be reattached with a coaxial cable that is finger-tight.
Reconnect the power cable to your TV set.
A new coaxial cable may be required if reseating the old one does not improve your picture.
Make sure to keep one end of your coaxial cable connected to the TV.
Disconnect the splitter’s coaxial cable by removing the cable’s connector from the splitter.
Put the splitter away for a minute.
Assemble the coaxial cable and secure it to the cable wall outlet with your fingers, making sure it’s finger-tight.
Your TV box (RF IN or CABLE IN) needs a power cable reattached.
Look at the picture quality to determine if it’s better.
Even if the picture quality has improved, you can still buy a new splitter from Shaw if you wish to keep using it.
What Are the Causes of TV Color Issues?
Color Setting:
In many cases, poor picture settings are responsible for color issues on all TVs. Fortunately, users only have to re-calibrate their TV’s color settings in this situation. Deactivate your TV’s color setting until you can see just black-and-white images on your screen. Increase depth of black through enhancing contrast and dimming the brightness to achieve a true black instead of a gray.
To remove the halo surrounding lines and letters, increase sharpness to its maximum and then decrease it to its minimum. When possible, use DVDs’ built-in color calibration features to help you adjust your TV’s settings.
LCD Color Problems:
Liquid crystal displays with flat screens re-align the crystal molecules to produce color. If one pixel in an LCD fails, the screen turns black and is devoid of any color. Dead pixels can be caused by manufacturing errors or blown transistors.
Because of fast display movement, such as in video games, colors can appear fuzzy. We know this phenomenon as “ghosting.” It may cause incorrect resolution settings for dull, blurry. A Blu-ray player produces a resolution of 1080p, thus we should adjust the TV to this resolution rather than a 720p or 480p lower resolution.
CRT Color Problem:
Traditional, boxy televisions, known as cathode ray tubes, or CRTs, produce a picture by displaying red, green, and blue primary colors in a controlled way. One major display color–red, green, or blue–can dominate the others because of poor connectivity to external display sources or a malfunction in the TV’s chroma decoder.
Color broadcasts that are completely colorless or black and white show a weak signal, a faulty chroma chip or chroma chip connections, or a faulty color oscillator. These flaws can also result in some hues being missing while others remain intact. A failed cathode ray tube can cause the color to fade intermittently.
Additional Tips For Troubleshooting:
There are a few things you can try if the above methods have failed:
If the image quality is poor just when watching recorded shows, the internal hard disc may fail and will need to be replaced. Is there anything changed in the house? During the process of making the change, a connection may have been accidentally broken.
You can fix the primary splitter as a last resort:
The main house feed is here which is also known as the ground block. The primary feed and the breakout/splitter with cables leading to your wall outlets will be visible.
Unplug the coaxial cables one at a time until the TV image stops moving to figure out which one belongs to your TV outlet. Your TV is fed through this coaxial cable.
Disconnect the splitter and attach that coaxial wire to the main house feed directly.
Check to see if the image quality on your television has improved. If this has happened, your main splitter could be the source of the problem.
Please keep in mind that this method will not work with all types of whole-house PVRs. Remove the splitter and you’ll lose cable access to everything else in your home.
Summing Up:
Hopefully, through this information, you will be able to fix colored squares on the TV screen. Contact a repair expert if the issue persists after tweaking the TV’s color settings.
