My tv has a dark picture. Everything else seems to be fine. To view the set, I must position myself, just right, in a relatively dark room. The picture is still a straqin to view under these conditions. I've called the repairman, he states " well, it's gonna' be $189 for the service call, I'll give it a good cleanin', that'll add about $100 to the bill, after that we'll see how she looks. Ifin' she's still dark we'll try a few other things. So, it'll be $289 to start, that might just getter' done. But don't worry, Mister, I'll stay at it 'til she works or I gotta' go eat supper!". WHHAAAT? Well, could you please give me some advice. All else works well. Thanks in Advance! Jim
You didn't mention if this problem suddenly happened or has been getting dimmer over time. If it's the latter, it could be a heavy buildup of dust/soot/smoke (depending if there are smokers in the house or a wood stove, etc) or the picture tubes going bad. If the set is over 9 years old, I'd replace it with a HDTV set and not look back. If the problem occurred suddendly, then a resistor or some other component may have gone out and it again would not likely be a cheap or easy repair.
