50LN5100 Lg LED Tv green tint!!!!

Nov 23, 2013 7:02AM PST

I just bought a 50LN5100 model Lg LED TV and I need settings that will make my colors normal! There's a very green tint and I have tried the Picture Wizard, and every other picture color setting and can't seem to get it correctly. Please help!

I bought one yesterday. My picture looks great. You just have to adjust the settings to eliminate the green. Start by putting the red/green in the middle. If you need some extra help, you can email me @ dmack@echoes.net and I can walk you through the settings. I work as a cable Tech for two years, so I know how to adjust the colors to get the best pic. I am happy with mine.

I am interested in buying this same TV but from Best Buy because they have the 55" version of the TV. Can anyone confirm if the TV that you have has an HDMI ARC connection? Also, how do you like the TV? I have a 55" Samsung that is about to crap out and need something new and updated...thanks!!

If you need more connections, this is not the TV for you. Otherwise, very happy with the TV, great picture and sound.

There is a cool app called THX Tune Up available for iphones and select android phones. The app is free and walks you through making adjustments using your phones camera. It only takes about 10 or 20 minutes to complete and worked well for me. It has a series of filters ( green, red) and it helps adjust your picture settings until it is properly calibrated. I have the exact same tv and it looks GREAT now. If your not familiar with THX, it is owned by Lucasfilm.
