[LG TV Screen] I am experiencing color duplication or overlap on the screen.

Troubleshooting

If the screen shows duplicate pictures/colors when connected to a set-top box, it may be due to a poor HDMI cable connection.
If colors duplicate in only certain channels, it is likely an issue with the broadcast signal rather than the TV itself.

Causes and Symptoms

  • The connection to your set-top box is bad.

If the image on the test screen appears okay, it indicates that the issue lies with the broadcast signal and not the TV itself.
If the problem does not occur in the picture test, please contact the set-top service provider. (e.g., cable TV, Skylife, IPTV)
