Last night I turned on my TV and saw this. The image is like a reverse color image, where everything that is supposed to be dark is light, and all colors are reverse. This is a large flat-screen TV.
I had the problem a couple of times before where it would happen briefly, but then would go back to normal. This time, it is not going away. I miss my TV.
If it has happened before and gone away, my best guess would be a software problem. Have you looked at upgrading the TV’s firmware? Or just reinstalling the current one?
Do all of the inputs and antennae do the same effect?
If you told me the name and model of your TV in the OP, I could tell you how to upgrade the firmware, with the help of Google. I suspect your boyfriend will be doing the same thing.
You may want to check the cable connections first. A common problem with component cables is funky coloring because one of the three cables came loose.
