This is probably a CRT problem, caused by shipping damage.

My first Toshiba CZ 3299K suffered from really weird distortions, not
unlike
yours. A reviewer had similar problems with his sample of this set.
Toshiba
took my set back and refunded the purchase price, but the unit was
bisected
by a fork lift at Toshiba, and no one ever figured out what the problem
was.

I hope someone here has the right answer. If not, put the set in the back
of
a pickup truck and run it over rough roads. (Seriously.) It couldn't hurt!



You forgot to plagiarise the "face down on a pile of blankets" bit!
