Constant changes in picture colors.

My Toshiba 20af44 20" TV is only 2 years old and has a major picture color problem. It constantly changes from great normal colors to all green, then overly bright, then muted, almost black & white. Does this sound like an inexpensive repair problem or should I start shopping for a new TV?? The warranty is no longer valid.

It is a 20" TV set and will most likly, im afraid to tell you, cost more to fix then it is worth. The problem is a bad Picture tube, an intermittant CRT socket or the video jungle IC is intermittant. If you want to invest in an estimate, check out first if it will go towards the repair, as then maybe you can get it fixed at a good price, as long as the picture tube is not the problem Good Luck

Projection television acting like an old picture tube TV.

Yes, I used to work in Best Buy and one of the key things about rear projection TVs and the reason they push those service plans on you is that the tubes/colors need to be calibrated each year. You can do this yourself by checking out the following website:

Building a database / expert system You can see from the photo the branch red circled, showing that the raster scan is inverted and providing an estimate of how much of the picture is cut, and can see that the vertical deflection is nonlinear and decreasing at a faster rate correspondent to increasing raster scan spacing. Also, notice that the width of the picture bows inward at the center. I'm curious. Has FixYa considered including a searchable database / expert system that includes such visual samples as that, circuit diagram and circuit photograph portions corresponding to the problem at hand, both for the pictured model and other models more generally demonstrating similar problems, perhaps including information on circuit components, their function and potential failures. Perhaps it could be crowd-sourced and self-policing much like Wikipedia is. That might unburden fellows like Eric of attention sponges like me and/or give Eric more opportunities to apply his skills as an experienced repair tech in building such an 'expert system'. Just a thought. I'll include the picture as soon as your interface allows me to.
