I recently started having problems with my 50V500 Hitachi. About a week ago my wife and I left the house for a couple of hours. She forgot to turn the tv off or something. When we got home, a blue light was on. I think it was the lamp light. I dicided to change the light bulb. but it did not work. The screen looks bright and the writing on the menu looks faded. I get a bright and redish or pinkish screen. If someone had or has this problem I need your help. Please help me. I miss my T.V.
