Do you have a blue tint on the Hisense TV screen all of a sudden once it is turned on? Then you will definitely be panicked and baffled about the reason. Before thinking about some serious probabilities, check whether the Hisense TV has a blue screen with sound. If yes, then you can relax a bit. There are chances to rectify the problem on your own using some effective troubleshooting practices.
Reasons for Blue Tint on Hisense TV
- Color Distortion Due to Cable Issues
- Wrong Picture Settings
- Temporary Glitches
- Hisense TV Software Problems
- Problems in Connected Device/Input
- Serious Software/Hardware Issues in Hisense TV
In the upcoming headings, I have elaborated on these factors and provided solutions for them.
Color Distortion Due to Cable Issues
The main reason for the appearance of a blue tint, especially if it is a new Hisense TV, would be a loose connection. When the TV cord is not well inserted into its power outlet, then the supply would be inconsistent, which brings up this issue. Any damage to the TV cord will also obstruct the delivery of sufficient power to the TV.
Solutions: Check the Connection & Condition of Cable
Check Connection:
Inspect whether your TV cord is fully into the power outlet’s slots. If it is halfway out, insert it well. You can also remove the cable from the outlet completely once reinserted so that you can ensure a firm connection. But avoid doing this when the TV is running.
Condition of TV Cable:
Suppose the cable is already fitted well into the respective outlet; then you should check for damages on it. Thoroughly go through every nook and corner of the TV cord. If you can locate any insulation damage, corkscrew, or shaky pins, repair it immediately and use your Hisense TV without blue tints afterward.
Wrong Picture Settings
If the connection and cables of your Hisense TV are fine, then you should check the picture settings next because some picture aspects decrease the temperature of the TV screen. As a result, the screen might appear in a little bluish tone. So, composing the picture elements in the right way will help you get back to normal.
Solution: Adjust Picture Aspects
Configure Temperature:
Having the TV Temperature set to Cool and the Blue color level higher in the RGB values will bring up the blue tint appearance on the Hisense TV. Thus, access the Hisense TV picture settings and select the Color Temperature option. Check whether the Cool preset is selected. If yes, then change it to Normal.
Otherwise, select the Custom option and see at what level the Blue color is set. If the Blue value is maximum and higher than the Red & Green color, decrease it. There is a chance that the blue tint appearance will vanish now.
Adjust Tint & Hue:
If the TV temperature is already normal, then you have to adjust other picture elements that make an impact on the TV screen color. First, select the Tint option on the picture settings. There will be two ends, red and pink. You can try moving the adjustment slider to both ends until you have the blue tint removed from your Hisense TV screen. In the same way, you should adjust the Hue level if you have a blue tint even after configuring Tint.
Temporary Glitches
Sometimes, there won’t actually be any issues with your Hisense Smart TV. This means the Blue tint on the screen appears because of a glitch. There are multiple reasons for this, like some sort of short-lived issues on the software side and signal interference from other devices.
Solutions: Restart Hisense TV, Remove Interference
Restart Hisense TV:
Glitches often stay on your TV temporarily. The best way to resolve this is to restart your Hisense TV. To do so, access your Hisense TV Settings menu and select the Restart option.
Otherwise, press & hold the Power button on the Hisense TV unit for about 5 seconds to restart. Just turning OFF & ON the power outlet switch of your Hisense TV will also do the thing. When the TV boots up, you can see the TV screen doesn’t have a blue tint, if the glitches are really responsible for this.
Remove Interference:
If restarting didn’t help fix the blue tint issue on Hisense TV, then check its ambiance. If there are other electronic devices present, such as a microwave oven, generator, or another TV, then its signals might be interrupting your Hisense TV, causing a blue tint. So, change either your Hisense TV or the other electronic device to another room. Or else, position the devices far from each other so that one’s signal doesn’t interrupt the other’s. After doing so, power cycle your Hisense TV by redoing the connection.
Now, you can turn ON your Hisense TV and expect it not to have a blue tint like before. If it is still present, then consider the upcoming factor.
Hisense TV Software Problems
If your Hisense TV is running outdated firmware, then it will bring up a lot of display-related issues, like vertical lines, flickering, and dim screen on Hisense TV. The blue tint you currently face might also have occurred due to this.
Solution: Update Hisense TV Software
The simplest way to rectify the blue tint caused by outdated firmware is to update the Hisense TV. So, go to the Settings menu and click on the Check Firmware Upgrade or System update option to scan for availability of a new firmware version. If so, then select it and install the latest software on the Hisense TV.
After the software update, reboot the Hisense TV. Once it is turned ON, check if the blue tint still exists.
Problems in Connected Device/Input
If you have tried all the previous troubleshooting methods but still have the blue tint issue, then you should turn your attention aside from the TV to the other possibilities. Suppose you have connected an external device, like a streaming device or DVD player, and any problem with it will be reflected through the TV screen only. It will appear like the problem is on the TV screen, but actually, it is not.
Moreover, sometimes the external device will be good, and the problem will be with the input port of the Hisense TV you have connected. These are some of the factors that most users fail to look at.
Solutions: Fix Problems in the Connected Device & TV Input Source
Repair Connected External Device:
You should replicate whatever you have tried on the TV for the connected device, too. First, check the connection and the condition of the participating cables and fix any discrepancies in them. Likewise, try restarting the device and adjusting the picture setting to normal or configuring the aspects responsible for the blue appearance. Remove the interference, if any, and update its firmware.
Check TV Input:
If you are done troubleshooting your external device, then come to the respective input port of the Hisense TV. Remove the device from it and keep it idle for about 15 minutes. Then, power cycle the Hisense TV in an attempt to reset the input port. Make the connection again and see if the blue tint has dispersed or not.
If not, then you shall connect the external device to the alternate port on the Hisense TV. Because the previous port could be damaged and malfunctioning. Suppose, weirdly, the external device is showing a blue tint when connected to all the input ports; then there should be some sort of serious problems with the Hisense TV.
Serious Software/Hardware Issues in Hisense TV
As all your troubleshooting efforts failed so far, it is sure that the condition is a bit serious. Either the TV software should be corrupted when performing the recent update. Otherwise, there should be impairments in the Hisense TV screen or in the internal components.
Solutions: Reset & Repair Hisense TV
Reset Hisense TV:
If you are lucky enough, there will only be a software error, which you can fix yourself. All you have to do is factory reset your Hisense TV. To do so, navigate to Settings and click on the Factory Reset Everything or Reset to Factory Defaults option. Upon resetting, the software bugs and any problematic agents on the TV will be cleared up. So, the blue tint will most probably be rectified by now.
Repair Hisense TV:
In extreme cases, opening the external compartment of your Hisense TV is the only way to fix the blue tint issue. The possibility of the issue is damage to the screen, backlight, T-con board, or main board. You cannot repair any of these, and they need professional handling.
So, take your Hisense TV to a nearby authorized service center. Inform them about your issue with the servicemen over there. You can even contact Hisense TV customer support and request that the authorities take your TV for repair by themselves. The trained repairmen over there will analyze the TV’s problem and repair it. If any component needs a replacement, they’ll inform you about the compensation and start doing it. You can claim the warranty for your Hisense TV if it is valid and get the repair/replacement service for free or at a low cost.
After repair, you’ll definitely be free from the blue tint issue on Hisense TV and start accessing it like always.
