On my brand new TV, the picture 'blurrs' repeatedly, maybe 3-4 times per hour. Have WiFi with Spectrum, so what causes this and what can I do about it?

NORIFY SPECTRUM

Google

make model manual

open the manual and use CTRL+F and type wifi, press Enter.

but my guess is that it isn't a 'Smart TV' and doesn't have Wi-Fi. It it was, you would have set it up when you got it.

To connect to your In-Home WiFi network:

1. On your VIZIO remote, press Menu.
2. Select Network and then press OK.
3. Choose Network Connection and then select the Wireless option. ...
4. Select your In-Home WiFi network. ...
5. Enter your WiFi password.
6. A confirmation message will appear when your connection is complete.

I have bought brand new Hisense 40 3d fhd led tv but no power.How can I switch it on?

It's time to spend $100 to buy a brand-new 19-inch LCD monitor,
or $200 to buy a brand-new 22-inch LCD monitor,
rather than paying a TV/CRT technician $50 to $75 per hour to try to fix the "antique" monitor.

Try logging on to the Philips web site to find out if there is a firmware update available for your model# TV, the symptom you have described has been firmware update on other brands of TVs that I have helped with. Good luck !

It sounds lamp is weak in TV and requires replacement.
I would be in better position to help you out if you post model and brand of your TV.

There is a failure occurring in one of the processor areas. Sometimes a short in the display panel itself can also cause this type of effect.

The luminance portion of the video signal is referenced to green, because green is the center of the visible spectrum.

You can send the set for service. Intermittent faults are generally difficult and time consuming to locate, therefore can be costly to service. If the set is out of warranty and has a number of years of use, maybe you should consider a new one.

Hello Exorbio,

As stated the problem is a lack of horizontal deflection. A ballpark figure on this would be as follows (take into mind this is the worse case scenario):

Parts:
1) Yoke transformer (if windings are open or shorted) $50.00
2) Fly-back transformer (if windings are open or shorted ,most likely shorted) $25.00
3) Horizontal Output Transistor (if going bad) $19.95 (sold in packs)
4) yoke capacitor (if defective) $1.49
5) Horizontal driver Transistor (if going bad) $10.95 (sold in packs)
6) Misc parts $20.00

Labor:
$60.00 per troubleshooting hour (standard troubleshooting time 2hrs) $120.00 (total)
$70.00 per repair hour (standard repair time 1hr) $70.00 (total)

Parts Total: $127.39

Labor Total: $190.00

shipping and handling for parts: $55.00

Grand Total: $ 372.39 (This is just a ballpark figure based on the worse case and the straight totals of parts, labor, and shipping costs)

This could cost much less depending on if only one of the listed components is bad.

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

How many times does the POWER led blink per sec? (dont worry about the OPC)

2x = power supply (not as expensive to fix)
3x = Main board (expensive to fix)

the base to emitter of the hot will read short on a diode checker/test on ohms it vairies but typically about 50 ohms.e to c, or b to c should have very high resistance. unsolder the collector of the hot. make sure all solder is gone. now test the ohm between your tuner ground & the pad of the hot collector it should read open.
