I tried replying to a thread but I guess since it's more than 60 days old a new member cannot reply... pretty dumb. Anyways, I am having the same issue as post I saw on here. My Samsung TV is showing a yellow display when hooked up to a PC. I hooked up a laptop last night and immediately the colour was yellow. Then I hooked up another PC and the picture was fine. But when I woke up this morning, the display from the other PC is now yellow. Is is the actual TV?

It sounds like you have an intermittent blue signal (RGB minus the B equals yellow). This could be a bad connector or cable between the PC and monitor.

I thought about that, but what is weird is that I was watching video last night with my wife no problem. The colour was fine. But when I woke up this morning, the video was yellow. Can the cord just 'break' while being plugged in?? Thanks.

Absolutely. Plugging in and unplugging are high-stress operations for any cable and especially connectors and pins. Even without a lot of physical stress, a heated or cooled connection can expand or contract just enough to make or break an intermittent connection.

With the monitor on and the cables in place, try moving/stressing the connectors and flexing the cable while watching for any change in the colors. Look in at the connector pins for any that might be bent or discolored. Can you swap out the cable to try to isolate where the problem might be?

Awesome! Got it working by moving along the cable and bending it, then voila! Full colour. Thanks so much!

Great! Now you just have to replace the cable to make the fix permanent.
