if it goes away when you unplug the HDMI cable, and stays away for few days, its the HDMI ports in your Sat Reciever,not the TV.To Verify this, try using a set of composite cables instead,Red/White/Yellow,this should confirm that its the HDMI port on the Sat Reciever(PVR)

Well only time ours did it and does it is with the PVR, doesn,t matter which HDMI Port, or which of 5 diff cables i have purchased.Only way to fix it is unplug HDMI and re-insert, all will be good for another few weeks usually.Also the Audio drops out from time to time, turn TV off,back on, its fine.Def crappy HDMI Ports, hopefully a firmware Update for TV will help somewhere down the line.

I have a 2 year old Toshiba 42 inch that does the same thing and will rotate between red, gree, blue magenta and yellow. It seems to be a loose connection on one of the solder points on the T-CON board area. Look up how to fix an X-Box 360 ring of death and the same fix generally applies to the t-con board of tvs with this issue. A simple heat gun and release at just the right time with proper cool down should melt the cheap solder connections back together again.

@Lavinco Hmm, interesting but i'm not gonna attempt that till warranties gone, lol.

the prob still persists to this day, but seems more rare as time goes on.Bell Expressvue told me afterwords that its not the TV,but there PVR unit, they.ve known for quite awhile about the prob and told me they are working on a software update to fix it.Thats been almost a year ago, still nothing.I still feel its the HDMI outputs personally, when it does it now, we just unplug HDMI , plug back in, and its good for couple months.Guess i'll just live with it.

sorry guys, forgot to follow up on this situation, Heres what we found out.After getting the secon replacement unit from Homezone, i happen to be talking to Bell one day about my HD Pkg, told them about my TV prob with sony, the lady admitted to me, its not a sony prob, its our Bell Sat Unit doing it, they knew of the prob all along, and sent out a replacement unit.For the record,it also did same thing, and still does to this day occasionaly,it is the HDMI input for sure

I have a refurbished 1 month old 46 inch Toshiba. It works great on the video inputs but all HDMI ports turn the screen pink. I don't think it's the sat/receiver because I don't have any cable/satellite whatsoever. I watch all my shows via my computer. I bought a 20 dollar hdmi cable and 10 dollar mini display port to hdmi adapter to hook up to my mac book pro and Iget the pink screen only on my tv and not on mycomputer.I've tried different adapters.Last step is changing out the hdmi cable.

i have a same problem in my sony bravia. wat should i do?

@gutterboy2ca good idea to use your warranty first. One other thing that can cause this to happen is the actual cable that plugs into the bottom of the timing connection (t-con) board. Simply rubbing the male terminals with an eraser will sometimes loosen the filthy clear sheath off of the connection points.
