Seems something is wearing out & I'm trying to decide to bury it, repair it or upgrade. It's been a great TV but I don't want to kick a dead horse. The description pretty much sums it up. It's taking longer to "warm up" and get a good picture. The color is mostly dark/brown when first turned on. The picture is also less than full screen. After maybe 15 minutes from turning it on we're back to a normal picture. We've done the advanced convergance which helped sharpen the picture & color but the "aging" problem still exists. I'm wondering what might cause this and what an estimated cost would be. Do I say goodbye to my 8 year old friend or say good buy to a nice new plasma or LCD which I'd prefer to put off for a few years?
Hi there!
Have you checked for dust on the Tubes and mirror? This may cause a bad picture quality. Also power supply related problems like capacitors can cause a dark picture. Try replacing some of them in the power supply area and line stage.Also adjustments in the service mode,but for this you will need the service manual. Good Luck,JUS004
