TV color distortion turns vibrant scenes into muddy or overly saturated messes. Common culprits include backlight imbalances, faulty T-Con boards, or misaligned RGB settings. At Luthuli Avenue, Nairobi’s electronics epicenter, Prologic-Technologies specializes in pinpoint fixes. Their technicians handle everything from LED glow-ups to OLED uniformity issues.
Factory presets prioritize showroom flash over home accuracy. Over time, heat, dust, and power surges shift white balance, causing greens to dominate or reds to bleed. Prologic-Technologies resets these using service menus inaccessible to users.
Common Causes of Distortion
Aging panels develop clouding, where center brightness exceeds edges. Cable shifts inside TVs create pink or blue tints during motion. Firmware glitches lock colors in “vivid” mode permanently.
Nairobi’s power fluctuations accelerate capacitor wear, skewing gamma curves. High-altitude sunlight fades anti-glare coatings, amplifying issues. Prologic-Technologies’ diagnostics map pixel variance with pattern generators.
Diagnostic Process
Technicians start with visual tests using SMPTE bars and color ramps. Multimeters check panel voltages; oscilloscopes trace signal paths. Software like Calman probes measure luminance and chroma.
They isolate issues: panel defects versus board failures. Loose ribbons often cause intermittent tinting—simple reseating fixes 40% of cases.
Correction Techniques
Service menu tweaks adjust RGB gains and offsets to D65 standards. Gamma correction evens shadow details. For uniformity, white balance fine-tunes across quadrants.
Advanced cases use probe-driven calibration, matching Hollywood mastering specs. Backlight scanning equalizes LEDs, banishing dark corners. Firmware flashes restore corrupted color profiles.
Hardware swaps replace T-Con boards for under KSh 5,000, cheaper than new screens.
Benefits of Professional Service
Restored accuracy boosts contrast 25-30%, revealing details in dark scenes. Energy use drops as optimized backlights run cooler. Gaming benefits from precise motion rendering; sports pop with true greens.
Longevity extends: balanced loads prevent burn-in on OLEDs. Prologic-Technologies warranties fixes for 6-12 months.

Maintenance Tips
Use “movie” or “cinema” modes daily—avoid vivid. Dust screens monthly with microfiber. Position away from direct sun. Annual recalibration preserves settings as bulbs dim.
Reset picture menus before troubleshooting. Update firmware via USB for color patches.
