If you've noticed a green tint on your Samsung TV, you're not alone. A green tint is a common issue that can be caused by a variety of factors, including incorrect settings, a faulty cable, or even a malfunctioning part. 

Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to fix the green tint on your Samsung TV which will be dealt with in this guide by IbmiSoft. 

Fixing the Samsung TV Green Tint Issue by Performing Soft Reset

A soft reset will restore the default settings of your TV and possibly fix the green tint issue in the process. 

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to perform a soft reset on your Samsung TV:

• Unplug the power cord from the back of your Samsung TV. 
• Wait at least 20 seconds before plugging the power cord back into your TV. 
• Once plugged back in, turn on the TV and wait for it to boot up.
• Once the TV is powered on, press the “Menu” button on your Samsung remote.
• Navigate to “Settings” and click on it.
• Select “Support” and then click on “Self Diagnosis”.
• Select “Reset” and then click on “Soft Reset”.
• Confirm the soft reset by selecting “Yes”.
• Wait for the soft reset to finish and then check if the green tint issue is resolved.

Your Samsung TV should now be reset to its default settings with the green tint issue hopefully resolved.

Adjust Samsung TV picture settings

If the soft reset didn't work, the next thing I'm going to have you try involves making some adjustments to your Samsung TV's picture settings.

Often times your TV's picture settings are to blame for the green tint you're seeing.

1. Disabling RGB Only Mode

RGB Only Mode is a feature of Samsung TVs that causes the picture to look more “lifelike” by displaying the full range of colors in the image. While this mode can be helpful in some situations, it can also make the picture look overly bright and washed out. 

To disable RGB Only Mode:

• Press the “Menu” button on your remote. 
• Select “Picture” and then “Picture Mode”. 
• Select “Standard” and then “Expert Settings”. 
• Finally, toggle the “RGB Only Mode” setting to “Off”.
•  

2. Disabling HDR+ Mode

HDR+ Mode is a feature of Samsung TVs that increases the dynamic range of the picture, making it look more vivid and lifelike. While this mode can be helpful in some situations, it can also make the picture look too bright and washed out. 

To disable HDR+ Mode:

• Press the “Menu” button on your remote. 
• Select “Picture” and then “Picture Mode”. 
• Select “Standard” and then “Expert Settings”. 
• Finally, toggle the “HDR+ Mode” setting to “Off”.

3. Adjusting the Brightness

If you find that the picture looks too bright or too dark, you can adjust the brightness to find the perfect balance. 

To do this:

• Press the “Menu” button on your remote. 
• Select “Picture” and then “Picture Mode”. 
• Select “Standard” and then “Expert Settings”. 
• Finally, use the left and right arrows to adjust the brightness as desired.

4. Resetting the Picture

If you find that the picture still looks off after adjusting the settings, you can reset the picture to its factory settings. 

To do this:

• Press the “Menu” button on your remote. 
• Select “Picture” and then “Picture Mode”. 
• Select “Standard” and then “Expert Settings”. 
• Finally, scroll down to the bottom of the menu and select the “Reset Picture” option.

With these steps, you should be able to find the perfect picture settings for your TV.

How to Check HDMI connections, ports and cables to fix Samsung TV Green Tint ?

A green tint on your Samsung TV can be caused by a faulty HDMI connection. The HDMI connection between your TV and other devices like a cable box, DVD player, or streaming device can cause the green tint. You can follow the below steps:

Step 1: Check Your HDMI Ports

The first step is to check the HDMI ports on your TV. Look at the back of the TV and check to make sure all the HDMI ports are free of dust. If there is dust or dirt in the ports, it can cause a poor connection which can cause the green tint. Use a can of compressed air to blow any dust out of the ports.

Step 2: Check the HDMI Cables

Next, check the HDMI cables. Make sure the cables are securely connected to both the TV and the device you are using. If the cables are not securely connected, the connection can be poor which can cause the green tint.

Step 3: Check for Broken HDMI Connections

If the HDMI cables are securely connected, the next step is to check for broken connections. Look for any bends or kinks in the cables as this can cause a poor connection which can result in the green tint. If you find any bends or kinks, try to straighten them out.

Step 4: Reset Your TV

If the HDMI connection is still not working, the next step is to reset your TV. To do this, unplug the TV from the power source and then plug it back in. This will reset the TV and may solve the issue with the green tint.
