this is not a normal symptom, if it's actually a TV problem then either the T-Con or the Seine boards are at fault. First you must ensure the problem is not an signal problem. hook up a DVD and try a good quality disc to test the TV.

The seine is no-longer-available and might be very hard to find a good working one, and there are a cople possible T-Con boards: http://www.shopjimmy.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=42hl196
