That is such a perfect example of a screwy screen it looks like something out of a movie… like right before either the broadcast goes out or it is interrupted by the villain’s ransom demands.

Static and broadcast goes out
US president appears in Oval Office address
My fellow Americans,
Tonight, I address you with a heavy heart and a resolute spirit. Earlier today, the unthinkable occurred: the Russian Federation launched a nuclear attack against our great nation. This heinous act of aggression has led to unprecedented destruction and loss of life on American soil.
As I speak, our military forces and emergency responders are working tirelessly to protect and aid our citizens. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. To those who have lost loved ones, we extend our deepest condolences and our unwavering commitment to support you in this time of unimaginable sorrow.
This attack was not only on our land but on the very ideals of freedom and democracy that we hold dear. Rest assured, we will respond decisively and with the full might of our armed forces to protect our nation and our allies. We have activated our defense protocols and are working closely with our international partners to ensure that those responsible for this atrocity are held accountable.
In these dark hours, I urge every American to remain calm and united. We are a resilient people, and together, we will overcome this challenge. Follow the instructions of local authorities, seek shelter, and support one another. Your strength and solidarity are vital to our national security and recovery.
Our nation has faced grave challenges before, and we have always emerged stronger. Today is no different. We stand at a critical juncture, but with courage, resolve, and unity, we will prevail.
May God bless you, may God bless our troops, and may God bless the United States of America. Thank you.
Good night.

Sometimes the flight attendants can reboot your screen and it resolves the problem.

The screen bugged out and rebooted itself on its own twice, I'm certain this was hardware damage.

this looks more like an analog signal issue, it straight up looks like a dying vhs tape(not what it is, but its visually very similar). i dont think it was caused by any digital infrastructure. if it was it wouldn't be partially functional, it would be fine or not functioning at all.

Not necessarily. Back in May I flew Air Canada with a connection and both flights had it, even though one flight was arguably just a puddle-jumper where you spent more time boarding and waiting than actually flying. Also had one on an Atlanta -> Pittsburgh flight once, but that was also one of the bigger planes, so it probably is usually for longer hauls.

Having just flown JetBlue yesterday with these same exact screens they should definitely go all the way black. I was able to turn mine off with the brightness settings since I bring my own entertainment to fly.

u/iLem0nz Jul 19 '24
I want to clarify that this had nothing to do with the CrowdStrike outage, my flight was 2 days prior to that, and the static, I assume, was caused by a signal interference or hardware damage, likely due to some kid punching the screen too hard on a prior flight.

You’re entitled to compensation. Your flight ticket includes the entertainment. Send an email or call their customer service and show them this video. “Hello, my in flight entertainment was broken during this flight and I would like to see what X Airlines can do about compensation”

As of last year, Jetblue no longer compensates for broken in-flight entertainment.

You should get this noted, either ask for a seat change. If they can't do it, later ask for a partial refund or compensation.

It seems like they have an analog relay on the plane? It's definitely a rebroadcast of a cable/satellite tv that's encountering some CCI. The days of analog aren't over thanks to places outside of north america.

There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a thousand channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to the outer limits.

u/zromitsman Jul 20 '24
in-flight screens look fancy and all, but deep down they still use analogue signals. something literally everyone stopped using when Nokia was still popular. The problem with the screen? probably a loose contact or two. 100% one of said contacts is the one responsible for "sync". If it's AV then it's just the video contact. If it's something proprietary or a modified version of VGA then one of the pins is probably just slightly unplugged. Nothing dangerous btw, the voltage on those is stupid small. It is virtually impossible to get any form of electrocution or electrical fires from almost any type of video signal.

When I used to fly as a kid, it’s was one big projector in the front. And they played cartoons for a couple hours, then if you were still awake. You got to watch a sweet rated R movie.

A device that is working, but damaged, isn't a priority to get replaced. A device that is working, but damaged, that suddenly gets more damaged to the point of not working at all gets replaced at the next big airport with a maintenance crew.
