CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

Picture of a set that needs the fluid changed. Notice how dull the colors are and how white the screen looks. The screen may also look red, orange, dull, etc.

TV set after fluid change. Notice how bright the colors are now. Everthing looks crisp and sharp again.

What you will need to do is replace the coolant and clean the crt. You can get a repair kit from www.TvRepairKits.com that includes replacement coolant, photos. instructions, etc.

to much for the dirt cheap parts.

I cant remove the box background of each icon in my desktop

You have "drop shadows" disabled. This can happen when windows thinks that your computer is struggling, and turns the "drop shadows" off. (I like to think of drop shadows as transparency) To re-enable them, Go start, and right click on "my computer" Press properties, and click "advanced". Then under "performance" click settings. Scroll to the bottom of this list, and second to bottom will be a checkbox with something about drop shadows on it. Make sure that this is ticked, and if it isnt, the tick it. If your this doest work, then untick it and click apply, then re- tick it, and go apply again. If this STILL doent work, then cross off the windows, and right click the desktop, go "desktop", and choose another background.
Hope that this solves your drop shadows problem!

Mono setting?

What channel is it and when they tune in that channel, is the picture nice and clear or is it grainy and snowy before the screen goes blue? On some sets, if the signal is weak, the picture will go blue. This is called Blue Screen and is there so you do not see very poor, grainy and snowy pictures. Some sets will have an option in the menu to turn the blue screen off.

Blue shadows

Looks like you need to adjust some panel voltages, usually the VS or VSCAN voltages, the panel on the inside of the set has a label with all these voltages on it and there are test points and small adjustors for changing these voltages, lower the VS voltage about 10 volts and while adjusting them have it hooked up and turned on, so you can watch the changes take place, if your not sure how to do it get an electronics specialist to do it, these tv's are loaded with high voltagers and can cause severe shock, be careful
